Notes
Homemade wonton strips.You can make your own wonton strips rather than using store-bought; they’re great for this soup as well as in salads, like our Asian Ramen Salad. To make them, cut wonton wrappers into thin strips and fry in vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
