  Use scissors to cut along the body, then cut round to separate the meat and bones, removing the skin. After that, chop the chicken meat finely and place it in a bowl aside. Keep the chicken bones to cook the broth.

  Dried wood ear mushrooms should be soaked in regular water for about 20 minutes until they swell and soften, then rinse and drain. Next, cut off the stems and chop them finely.

  Shallots should be peeled, washed clean with water, then chop 2 bulbs finely, leaving the remaining 3 bulbs whole.

  Green onions should have the wilted leaves removed, cut off the roots and the yellow tips. Then, wash them clean with water, drain, and chop them finely.

  Carrots, potatoes, and beets should be peeled, washed clean, drained, and then cut into bite-sized pieces.

  Making the broth

  Place a pot on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat, then add the remaining minced shallots and sauté until fragrant.

  Next, add the beetroot and stir for about 3 minutes. Then pour about 1 liter of water into the pot, add the chicken bones, 3 shallots, and 1 tablespoon of salt, and cook until the water boils for about 5 minutes before adding the carrots and potatoes.

  Simmer the vegetables until soft for about 20 minutes over medium heat. Next, season with 1 tablespoon of seasoning and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Remember to skim off the foam to keep the broth clear.

  Finally, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s preference, then turn off the heat.

  Put the wontons in a bowl, pour in the hot broth filled with vegetables. Season with a little pepper and chopped green onions on top, and you can enjoy it right away.
