- Vegetables/Herbs – green onions, bok choy, or spinach for freshness
- Optional: soy sauce, sesame oil, or ginger for extra flavor
2. Flavor Profile:
- Light but flavorful, with umami from broth and filling
- Wontons are tender and juicy
- Aromatic, comforting, and soothing—perfect for a starter or light meal
3. Serving Style:
- Hot, in a bowl with broth
- Garnished with green onions, sometimes a drizzle of sesame oil
4. Tips for Best Results:

- Fresh herbs at the end brighten the soup
💡 Fun twist: Add baby bok choy, mushrooms, or a soft-boiled egg to make it more substantial.
