- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Wash and cut 7 sticks of green onion into pieces. (Save 2 sticks of green onion for soup later, 5 sticks of green onion for the filling.)
- Roughly chop a bag of small raw frozen shrimp with no shells (12 oz and around 60-80 small shrimp).
- Put 1 pound of ground pork into the bowl. (I used 85% lean and 15% fat.)
- Next, put the chopped shrimp from step 2 into the bowl.
- Add ¼ teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, ¼ teaspoon of white pepper, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Mix the sauce and meat well.
- Put the cut green onion (5 sticks of green onion) from step 1 into the bowl.
- After, mix the ingredients well.
- There are different ways to wrap wonton. Here are the most common ways to fold it. The easiest and traditional way is with a tail. First, take a wonton wrapper, dip some water on the fingers and move around the wrap. Then, put a teaspoon filling on the wonton wrapper and close the end with a tail like the picture above. (See details in the video below the recipe card.)
- This is the second way to fold wonton like a fish. Take a wonton wrapper, dip some water on the fingers and move around the wrap. Then, put a teaspoon filling on the wonton wrapper, fold it into a triangle, take the angles and bring it together. (See details in the video below the recipe card.)
- The third way to wrap wonton like sycee (yuanbao 元寶) or a boat. Take a wonton wrapper, dip some water on the fingers and move around the wrap. Then, put a teaspoon filling on the wonton wrapper, fold it into a rectangle, take the angles and bring it together. (See details in the video below the recipe card.)
- Pour 4 cups of water in a pot, turn on the fire to a small medium.
- When the water is boiling, add the wonton. Let it cook until they all float on the top and make sure it's cooked.
- Use a strainer to take out the cooked wonton.
- After that, put the cooked wonton into a bowl.
- Sprinkle some chopped green onion (2 sticks of green onion) from step 1.
- Lastly, pour 2 cups of chicken broth into a pot and turn on a small medium fire until it's boiling. After, pour the chicken broth over the cooked wonton in step 16 when it is ready to serve.
Notes
- Cooking tips for how to make homemade wonton soup:
- Traditional way to wrap wonton is to make sure they have a tail just like the first method I mentioned in this recipe.
- Other nice and fancy ways will take a little longer to wrap them see details in the video below the recipe card.
- Make sure don’t overcook or undercook wonton. The best way to know if it’s cooked through. Wonton is done when they are floating on the top of boiling water. If you worry they are not fully cooked, let it boil for a minute before taking them out.
- Lots of people like to make the broth with chicken bones and boil it for many hours. To keep it simple, I normally just use chicken broth or water, add some salt and green onion to make the soup to serve with wonton.
