Tips

 If the dough for the wonton wrappers is too dry, add a little water; if it is too wet, add a little flour.

 You can adjust the ratio of fillings and seasonings to your liking.

 To make the broth clearer, you can blanch the chicken bones in water to remove the blood before using them.

 Be careful not to overcook the wontons, or the wrappers may break.
