What Is Wonton Soup?
Wontons are small dumplings made from thin dough wrappers filled with a mixture of ground meat (usually pork or shrimp), vegetables, and seasonings. These dumplings are gently boiled and served in a savory broth, often garnished with scallions, bok choy, or mushrooms.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Wonton wrappers: Thin squares of dough available in most Asian grocery stores or supermarkets.
Filling: Typically ground pork, shrimp, or a combination, mixed with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions.
Broth: A clear chicken or vegetable broth infused with ginger, garlic, and soy sauce.
Vegetables and garnish: Bok choy, napa cabbage, mushrooms, scallions, and sometimes a drizzle of sesame oil or chili oil.
How to Make Wonton Soup
Prepare the Filling: Combine ground meat or shrimp with minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
Fill the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two corners together and pinch to form the classic wonton shape.
Cook the Wontons: Drop the filled wontons into boiling water or broth and cook until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through, usually 3-5 minutes.
Make the Broth: Simmer chicken or vegetable broth with slices of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce for added depth.
