You can find wonton wrappers in most supermarkets. Sometimes they’re in the produce section in the cooler with the tofu. Use either round or square wrappers for these; make them ahead if it’s more convenient and freeze.
Advance preparation: The wontons can be made ahead and frozen. Once they freeze on the sheet pan, transfer them to freezer bags. They will keep for a month. Add directly to the simmering broth and allow a few extra minutes for cooking.

I like this curry paste made with eight green Thai chiles that I’ve stemmed and seeded; only add two or three chiles if you prefer less heat. Or for a spicier curry paste, add some of the reserved chile seeds. If Thai basil leaves are not available, you can substitute regular basil. Use some of these cubes in my recipe for Thai Green Curry with Sweet Potatoes.
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS: To make curry that tastes as bright as it looks, I rounded up a whole bunch of green stuff: cilantro, Thai basil, scallions, and Thai chiles. I then added other flavor-packed ingredients like garlic, ginger, coconut milk, and spices. By freezing the pureed mixture in an ice cube tray, I can use just what I need whenever the mood strikes.

Dressing adapted from Mollie Katzen’s The New Moosewood Cookbook
Yield = 1.5 cups
Notes: the first time you make this dressing it will likely taste a little flat. I find it hard to get the seasoning right because of the warm temperature of the mixture and often make adjustments the following day or after it has cooled in the fridge. I never find the 2 teaspoons of lime juice to be enough and almost always add the juice of a whole lime depending on its size. The dressing will feel really thin — too thin — but it works. I add the sesame oil for both flavor and body, but this is not in the original recipe, so feel free to leave it out if you don’t like that flavor. And I add a hefty dose of Sriracha, not only for heat but for flavor — it provides a nice bite in addition to heat. I like to make the dressing a day in advance to allow the flavors to meld and to let it cool down, but you can always stick it in the freezer to let it cool down faster. Alternatively, you can make the dressing in the food processor using cold water.
