When we make Dumplings such as Gyoza and Wonton, we often end up having leftover wrappers. I add them to soup and this ‘Wakame Soup’ is my absolute favourite. Today I used Wonton Wrappers. Make sure you add the wrappers one sheet at a time.

Makes

2 tablespoons Dry Cut Wakame

  3. Cut Dumpling Wrappers into the size that is easy to eat, add to the boiling soup one sheet at a time. Simmer until Dumpling Wrappers are softly cooked.
