Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Saucy Wontons
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Gently drop in the mini chicken wontons and cook for 3-5 minutes until they float and are tender.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and corn starch. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat, pour in the sauce mixture, and stir continuously until it thickens into a glossy consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
