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.

Meat from 1 spare rib leftover from Sweet and Sticky Spareribs with Fried Noodles, finely chopped, recipe follows
1 carrot, grated
1 scallion, thinly sliced
12 wonton wrappers leftover from Fried Noodles
2 (14.5-ounce) cans chicken broth
1 cup broccoli, leftover from Crispy Orange Beef and Broccoli recipe
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons barbeque sauce
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds pork spareribs
1/2 (12-ounce) package wonton wrappers, reserve 12 for round 2 recipe, Wonton Soup
1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine the meat from the spare rib, the carrot and the scallions in a small bowl. Make wontons by placing a tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Dampen the edges with water, then fold in half, point to point, and pinch together. Wrap the outside corners around and seal together.
  • Heat the chicken broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the broth has come to a simmer, add the wontons and the broccoli. Cook for 3 minutes, then ladle into serving bowls and serve hot.
  • In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade. Cut the spareribs into individual ribs and put in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag and toss to coat. Put the bag into a large bowl and refrigerate to let marinate for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Remove the spare ribs from marinade and arrange on a baking sheet, cover with foil and poke holes in the foil to vent. Reserve the marinade. Bake until the ribs are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • In the meantime, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until thick, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • After 1 1/2 hours, remove the foil from the spareribs and raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Baste the ribs with the reduced marinade and roast in oven for 5 minutes. Turn and baste the ribs again with the remaining sauce and roast for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange the ribs on a serving platter. Serve hot with Fried Noodles.
  • Fried Noodles:
  • Heat 1 cup canola oil in a medium heavy saucepan, to about 350 degrees F. Cut the wonton wrappers into 1/2-inch wide strips. Fry in batches until golden brown and drain on plate lined with a brown paper bag or paper towels.

WONTON SOUP FOR TWO



Wonton Soup for Two image

The recipe I modified to make this version (from Favorite Brand Name Soup) called for making the wontons 12 at a time. I liked the idea of making more ahead of time so I can throw the soup ingredients together in a jiffy and the wontons are already made. My husband brags about this soup and asks me to make it special for him. This soup for two is so easy and delicious, you'll be craving it yourself!

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ pound ground pork
½ cup finely chopped, drained water chestnuts
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
48 wonton wrappers
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 ½ cups chopped kale
½ cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 small carrot, grated

Steps:

  • Combine ground pork, water chestnuts, soy sauce, egg whites, ginger, and garlic for wontons in a bowl.
  • Place 1 wonton wrapper on a work surface with a point facing you so it looks like a diamond. Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the bottom 2 edges of the wonton wrapper. Place 1 teaspoon of meat filling near the point closest to you. Pull the further corner over the meat to the corner nearest to you and seal the point. Gently squeeze the air out of the wonton with both hands while sealing the edges. Set the finished wonton on dry parchment paper. Repeat until the meat filling or the wontons are gone.
  • Combine chicken broth and soy sauce for soup in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; add 12 wontons, stirring gently so the wontons don't stick to each other, and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in kale and green onions and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in sesame oil and carrot. Ladle into two bowls 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

Tips:

  • Make sure the filling is well-seasoned: The filling is the heart of the wonton soup, so make sure it's well-seasoned. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful filling.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the wontons, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the wontons from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the wontons until they float: The wontons are done cooking when they float to the top of the pot. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve the wonton soup immediately: Wonton soup is best served immediately. This will prevent the wontons from becoming soggy.
