Wonton Soup
Wonton Soup
Filling
0.5 pound shrimp
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 stalks green onions
1/3 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
Wrapper
10z box of premade wonton wrapper
Add all the filling ingredients into a blender and blender.
Use about 1/2 tablespoon of filling per wonton. Using less filling will be easier to fold the wontons.
When folding, fold along the diagonal. Then pinch to move the filling to the bottom of the wonton so you get a tear drop shape.
If you are freezing the wontons, then dust a plate with flour first before placing the wontons.
Frozen takes 10 minutes boiling. Fresh take 5 minutes boiling. Just cut open one to check.
To season the soup, you can really use anything you want. Sometimes I use soy sauce and sesame oil. Other times I use chicken bouilion and sesame oil. You can also add some seaweed and vegetables (celery is ideal) to make it a more balanced meal.
Similar to dumplings, wontons are so convenient because you can make a lot of them at one time, freeze them, and then use them whenever you need. The perfect food for busy people. I enjoy adding these wontons to noodles to make it a more complete meal.
To make my grandmother's recipe, make these modifications to above recipe: Use only pork. Add msg and add oriental pickling melon.
