FREEZING WONTONS

I love making a big batch of wontons and freeze them for later. That way, you can have delicious wonton soup in under 15 minutes whenever you are craving a comfort meal! You don’t need to cook the wontons before freezing. To freeze uncooked wontons, lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet lightly dusted with flour or cornstarch. Put the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the wontons for 1-2 hours until solid. Then transfer them to a zip lock bag. Wontons can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
