Mom's Wonton Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chinese Recipes. (Mom's Wonton Recipe). I recently learned to make homemade won tons from my mother. They can be deep fried as an appetizer, but I prefer them in a rich, homemade chicken broth with baby bok choy or other leafy greens. Extras will freeze well for later enjoyment.
