Homemade Wonton Soup
Description
Homemade Wonton Soup combines seasoned ground pork and finely chopped shrimp melded with spring onion, ginger, garlic, and a mix of oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. These ingredients create a flavorful filling encased in wonton wrappers shaped into triangles and sealed by hand. The wontons are boiled briefly until they float, signaling that they are cooked through. The accompanying broth is made by bringing chicken stock to a boil with fresh garlic, ginger, pak choi, and green onion, which imparts a mild and aromatic flavor. The cooked wontons are then added to the broth, creating a warm soup that highlights the tender texture of the dumplings and the subtle taste of the vegetables and broth. This soup makes for a hearty, nourishing meal or a light starter, especially when served hot.

Instructions

- Place about a teaspoon of the mixture onto a wonton wrapper, then brush the edges with water.
- Fold the wrapper like a triangle, then bring the corners together to seal. Repeat until you use up the mixture.
- Add boiling water to a pan, then add about 5-10 wontons at a time, depending how big your pan is.
- Leave to boil for about 5 minutes or until the wontons float and they are cooked through.
