Wontons for Wonton Noodle Soup image

Wonton Noodle soup is a traditional Cantonese meal served as a hearty breakfast or lunch. These wontons, made from seasoned pork and shrimp, are the actual dumplings served with egg noodles and chicken broth. 'Dashi' - or fish flakes - is an optional ingredient, but adds wonderful flavor. If you feel daring, you may try making your own dashi from a fish purchased whole.

Time 2h10m

Yield 150

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound lean ground pork
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped
5 dried black or shiitake mushrooms, reconstituted in hot water and chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons dashi (dried fish flakes)
2 (14 ounce) packages square wonton wrappers

Steps:

  • Strain mushroom soaking liquid completely. Pat dry with paper towel, and chop.
  • Place pork, shrimp, mushrooms, green onion, egg, soy sauce, salt, and dashi (if using) together in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are completely incorporated.
  • Have a bowl of luke-warm water available for dipping. If you are right-handed, place wonton wrapper in a triangle position on your left palm. Place a small amount of filling (about a heaping teaspoon or more) near the lower corner of wonton wrapper. Fold that corner over filling toward the opposite corner about half way, making sure the filling is securely enclosed.
  • Dip finger into a bowl of water and dab left corner of wrapper with water. Fold left and right corners toward you (away from the top corner), resulting in the shape of a nurse's hat.
  • Place wontons on cookie sheets while you work, keeping them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out. Wontons may be carefully stored in plastic freezer bags and frozen for future use.

I made these wontons for my husband and he loved them! He said they were the best wontons he had ever had. I will definitely be making these again.

These wontons were delicious! I made them for my family last night and they were a hit. The filling was flavorful and the wontons were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
