Homemade wonton soup

Wonton soup is a beloved classic in Chinese cuisine, known for its delicate dumplings floating in a flavorful broth. This comforting dish is not only delicious but also surprisingly simple to make at home. 

 

INGREDIENTS: FOR THE WONTONS:

 1/2 pound ground pork ( sub. tofu, jack-fruit, black beans, mushrooms, tempeh, lentils)

1/4 cup finely chopped shrimp ( sub-Soy curls (essentially just dehydrated strips of soy protein) are cheap, versatile, and easy to cook with. While they are initially quite bland taste-wise, they are great at soaking up flavors when you marinade them, making them the ideal blank canvas for vegan shrimp.2 cloves garlic, minced

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp grated ginger

24 wonton wrappers

FOR THE SOUP:

• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped cilantro and additional green onions for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

 - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined.

–  Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it over the filling to form a triangle.

– Press the edges to seal, making sure there are no air bubbles trapped inside. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all the wontons are assembled.

– : Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the wontons to the boiling water, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

– : Cook the wontons for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside.

–  In a separate pot, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and sliced mushrooms, if using.

– Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

–  Ladle the hot soup into bowls and add a few cooked wontons to each bowl. Garnish with chopped cilantro and additional chopped green onions, if desired. And serve the wonton soup hot and enjoy!
