Ingredients for this Wonton Soup Recipe:
Wontons:
- ½ pound boneless pork loin, coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces peeled shrimp, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
- 24 (3.5-inch square) wonton wrappers
Soup:
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
Directions:
- Prepare the Wonton Filling:
In a bowl, combine the chopped pork loin, chopped shrimp, rice wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, green onions, and ginger. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined. - Assemble the Wontons:
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Wet the edges with a little water and fold the wrapper to form a triangle, sealing the edges tightly. Then fold the two corners of the triangle toward the center to form a “purse” shape, pressing to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. - Make the Soup:
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and stir. - Cook the Wontons:
Gently add the prepared wontons to the simmering stock, one by one. Let the wontons cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top and are cooked through. - Serve:
Ladle the soup and wontons into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
