Why This Recipe?

🌸 Traditional Wisdom

Small wontons are a common comfort for morning sickness, freshly boiled in light broth and easy on the stomach.

🔬 Modern Science

Lean pork filling gives digestible protein and iron; thin and small for small frequent meals when appetite is low — cook the filling through.

⚠️Moderate evidence
