from PM’s CC Vol I. These are simply the tastiest wontons ever. I make them with chicken, which gives a lovely delicate flavor. PM, of course, makes her own wrappers, but that takes forever because she is not kidding when she says they need to be paper thin. 餛飩 hun2tun2 — wontons! PM’s wonton filling [...]
