Here’s a simple and comforting Wonton Soup 🥟🍲 recipe—a classic Chinese-style soup with tender wontons in flavorful broth:
Ingredients
For the Wontons
- 200 g ground pork or chicken
- 2 green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- Wonton wrappers (about 20–25)
For the Broth
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 slices fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1–2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Optional: sliced mushrooms, bok choy, or spinach
Instructions
- Prepare the Wontons
- Mix ground meat, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl.
- Place ~1 tsp of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Moisten edges with water, fold, and seal. You can fold into triangles or the traditional wonton shape.
- Make the Broth
- Bring chicken broth, ginger slices, and crushed garlic to a gentle simmer in a pot.
- Add soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Cook the Wontons
- Carefully drop wontons into simmering broth.
- Cook 4–6 minutes, until wontons float and are fully cooked.
- Add Vegetables (Optional)
- Add mushrooms, bok choy, or spinach in the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
- Serve
- Remove ginger slices before serving.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or a few drops of sesame oil.
✅ Tips:
- Don’t overfill the wontons to avoid them bursting during cooking.
- Freeze uncooked wontons on a tray, then transfer to a bag for later use.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar or chili oil for extra flavor when serving.
I can also give a super quick version using frozen store-bought wontons that takes under 15 minutes if you want. Do you want me to share that?
