Wonton Soup Recipe
Description
This Wonton Soup recipe combines ground pork, shrimp, and aromatics into a finely minced filling that becomes sticky after mixing, ensuring the wontons hold together well when cooked. The filling is wrapped carefully in wonton wrappers, sealed by moistening the edges and folding into a tight triangular shape with curled corners.
Cooking involves boiling the wontons until tender and adding leafy green vegetables like bok choy or lettuce toward the end for freshness. The soup broth is mild but flavorful, made with water but can be enriched with chicken or pork stock if desired. It can be served with either a spicy sauce containing chili oil and black vinegar or a mild sauce with dried shrimp and seaweed, enhancing the dumpling flavors with contrasting tastes.
The texture is tender and juicy in the filling, surrounded by a soft, slightly chewy wrapper in a light broth. The greens add a bright note and slight crunch when cooked just before serving. The soup is comforting and makes a complete dish, suitable for various occasions.

Instructions
- To make the filling: In a large bowl, well combine all the ingredients together. Then stir your meat filling in one direction until the filling becomes sticky.
- To assemble the wontons: Put the wonton wrapper in the center of the left hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of meat stuffing (or slightly more if you want)onto the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the opposite corner to make a triangle just like the picture shows. Hold the wrapper with both hands, curl the corner on the right hand in firstly and then the curl the corner on the left hand to seal with another corner. You can also change the sequence. But make sure that you press them firmly.
- To prepare your serving bowls: in separate serving bowls, mix all the seasonings and set aside.
- Boil water in a wok. Put the wonton in to cook for about 5 minutes.And add your vegetable leaves prepared to cook in the last 1 minute.
- scoop around 1/2 bowl of the boiling water in serving bowl (or you can use stock), and then place wonton in too.
Notes
- Using chicken or pork stock instead of water will add richness to the broth.
