Making homemade wonton soup is not only
easy, it's fun and will definitely impress guests when you tell
them you made the wontons.
Wonton Soup
- 6 ounces pork, minced
- 8 medium shrimp, shelled and minced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Chinese wine or dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon finely minced green onion
- 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 3 cups chicken stock or broth
- Finely chopped green onions for garnish
- To make filling, mix the minced pork and
shrimp with the sugar, rice wine or sherry, 1 tablespoon of the
soy sauce, 1 teaspoon green onions and the ginger in a mixing
bowl. Blend well and set aside for 25 to 30 minutes for the flavors
to blend.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the
center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of each wonton with
a little water and press them together with your fingers to seal,
then fold each wonton over.
- To cook, bring the stock to a rolling
boil in a wok or large pot, add the wontons and cook for 4 to
5 minutes. Add the remaining soy sauce and green onions, transfer
to individual soup bowls and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
Note: To make preparation easier, use a
food processor to mince the ingredients for the wonton filling.
