WONTON SOUP



Wonton Soup image

I love soups, and one of my favorites is wonton soup. This version was printed in Saveur magazine. In China this dish is considered a snack rather than one course of a meal. If you have a choice, try to find a good quality, thinner, wonton wrapper at your Asian food market. The steps look long, but I've broken them down in many simple steps for clarity.

WONTON SOUP



Wonton Soup image

Note: If you plan on saving any of this soup for leftovers, you might consider cooking the wontons in a separate pot of boiling water before adding them to the broth for serving. Because the wontons themselves are coated with cornstarch, they will make the soup cloudy, thick, and starchy, if allowed to sit in the soup for any length of time. You won't have this problem, however, if you choose to serve the soup immediately.

Time 1h30m

Yield about 2 quarts, 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus 3 tablespoons finely chopped
10 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
1/2 pound ground pork
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
About 30 wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced bok choy
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushroom caps
1/4 cup sliced bamboo shoots

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or soup pot heat the oil over medium high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup of sliced scallions and the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low so that the broth just simmers. Allow broth to simmer for at least 20 to 30 minutes while the wontons are being assembled.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine the remaining teaspoon of minced garlic, remaining tablespoon of chopped ginger, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped scallions, the pork, egg yolk, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and crushed red pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Working on a flat work surface, lay out a few of the wontons. (Keep remaining wonton wrappers covered with plastic wrap.) Fill a small bowl partially with cool water and set aside. Using a teaspoon measure, place a heaping teaspoonful of the meat filling in the center of each wonton. Using your fingers, lightly wet the edges of the wonton. Bring 2 opposite corners of the wonton together to form a triangle and enclose the filling, pressing edges firmly around the mound of filling to eliminate any air pockets and seal. Moisten opposite corners of the long side. Curl moistened corners toward each other, overlapping one on top of the other, and press the edges together to seal. You should now have a rounded stuffed wonton with a triangle poking up at the top. Assemble the remaining wontons in the same manner. When the wontons are all assembled, set aside.
  • Add the sliced bok choy, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots to the broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Using your hands or a slotted spoon, gently add the prepared wontons to the simmering broth. Increase the heat slightly so that the broth returns to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally (very gently), until the wontons float and the pork filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon thin soy sauce
2 teaspoons shao hsing wine
Freshly grated black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Square wonton wrappers
Egg wash
1 pound pork neck bones, chopped into large pieces
2 pounds fowl, chopped into large pieces
1 Smithfield ham bone
1 Chinese dried fish (if available)
4 pieces of ducks feet
6 dried chicken wings
1 1/2 pounds combined coarsely chopped: celery, carrots, onions, scallions
Few drops yellow food coloring
1 teaspoon Msg (optional)
2 cups bok choy leaves cut in 1/2-inch julienne
1/2 cup Chinese roast pork, slivered

Steps:

  • To Make The Wontons: In a bowl combine all the filling ingredients.
  • Open the wonton wrappers and keep them under a dampened cloth.
  • Place a wrapper on a surface with a corner pointing toward you. Brush the egg wash along the four edges of the wrapper. Place a second wrapper on top and press the edges together to seal. Put 2 teaspoons of filling on the center of the wrapper. Pick up the corner closest to you and fold the wrapper over the filling, making a triangle with the long side at the bottom, closest to you.
  • Press down on the edges to seal in the filling while at the same time pushing out any air. Put egg wash on the top of the left tip and the bottom of the right tip. Keeping the wonton flat on the surface, bend the tips toward you and cross them, putting the right tip on top of the left tip. Squeeze together to seal. Repeat with remaining filling. Reserve prepared wontons on a tray covered with a cloth. You can keep formed wontons in your refrigerator for up to 3 hours, or, to keep them longer, freeze them on the tray and, when frozen, knock tray on edge of table to loosen them and put them into plastic bag, seal it and return them to the freezer. They will keep for up to 1 month.
  • To Make The Broth: Heat 1 gallon or water to a boil in a stockpot.
  • Add pork neck bones, fowl, ham bone, dried fish, ducks feet, chicken wings, celery, carrots, onions and scallions.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer 1 1/2 hours, then drain.
  • To drained stock add yellow food coloring, msg, wontons, bok choy, and slivers of pork. Simmer for 10 minutes and serve.

DECONSTRUCTED WONTON SOUP



Deconstructed Wonton Soup image

Wonton is one of my favorite types of soup. When I wanted to whip up a homemade version, I decided to take a shortcut and combined pork meatballs with wide egg noodles. If I have them on hand, I'll add sliced water chestnuts, barbecued pork or sesame seeds to switch it up. -Joanne Neidhamer, Tuolumne, California
