Shrimp and ginger are used to fill these wontons and they are served in an aromatic homemade broth. If you want a really fresh-tasting wonton soup recipe make the soup from scratch for outstanding results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • ¾ pound (340g) shrimp
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons chopped ginger
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (fresh coriander)

For The Broth:

  • 1 box chicken stock
  • 2 slices ginger root
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced in half
  • Soy sauce, to taste
  • Sesame oil, to taste
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 green onions (spring onions)
  • Small bunch of cilantro (fresh coriander)

Instructions

  1. First make your broth. Add the bunch of cilantro, 2 of the green onions (cut into thirds), the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and sesame oil to a box of chicken broth.
  2. Let it simmer for 20 minutes on the stove. Strain the stock.
  3. Pulse half a pound (225g) of the shrimp in a food processor and reserve the remainder. If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop it with a knife.
  4. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger or cilantro to the minced shrimp to make the filling.
  5. Divide the filling between the wonton wrappers, using about a tablespoon of filling per wrapper.
  6. Fold the filled wonton wrappers into triangles, using a water-moistened finger to seal the edges, then fold the pointy sides down and glue them together using a wet finger.
  7. Drop 6 wontons at a time into boiling water for a few minutes, until they are translucent and flexible.
  8. Add the whole reserved shrimp too. They will turn pink when they are done.
  9. Carefully remove the wontons and shrimp with a slotted spoon.
  10. Finely chop the remaining green onion and add that to the soup.
  11. Add the wontons and shrimp to the stock to warm them through, then serve.
  12. Be careful when handling the wontons because they are delicate.
