Note
Do not overcook the wontons, or the skins may become mushy. They are done as soon as they float.
Adjust the sugar and vinegar levels in the broth to balance the sweet and sour taste according to your preference.
If you prefer a spicier broth, increase the amount of chili flakes or add a dash of Sriracha.
Leftover broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the shrimp with a mixture of mushrooms and tofu, and use vegetable stock instead of fish stock.
