Authentic Wonton Soup

Recipe Archive· Soup

Hearty Won Ton Soup. These wontons are shrimp wontons so every bite is bursting with the briny, juicy, and sweetness of fresh shrimp. A great substitute to pork.

Authentic Wonton Soup

The typical Chinese restaurant wonton soup is watered down.

Because the wontons are made of mostly the wonton wrapper with very little filling.

Most Chinese restaurants serve wontons made of ground pork filling.

But these wontons are shrimp wontons.

And every bite is bursting with the briny, juicy, and sweetness of fresh shrimp.

Plus everyone can enjoy this wonderful soup as it is not made of pork.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

Filling:

  • 8 oz peeled and deveined big shrimp
  • 1 oz yellow chives or scallions chopped finely
  • 15 wonton wrappers
  • Water for boiling wontons

Seasonings:

  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable bouillon powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 dashes white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon corn starch

Soup:

  • 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • Salt to taste
  • White pepper to taste
  • Sesame oil to taste

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels and then cut each shrimp into 3 to 4 pieces. Add half of the chopped yellow chives into the shrimp and marinate with the seasonings for 1 hour.

Place a wonton wrapper on your palm and put about 1 teaspoon about 3 to 4 pieces of the shrimp filling in the center of the wonton wrapper. Gather the corners of the wrapper with the other hand and pinch in the middle to seal the wonton. Make sure the wontons are sealed tight. Repeat until the filling is used up.

Prepare the soup first by bringing the vegetable broth to boil. Add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil to taste.

Transfer the wontons out with a strainer and into the Soup and serve immediately.

This recipe Is adapted from Rasa Malaysia And was very well received by the entire family.

I altered the recipe slightly to make it completely vegetarian.

Let me know if you make it! I enjoy and respond to all comments.

Authentic Wonton Soup is made with shrimp as opposed to pork and is very hearty!

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 8 oz peeled and deveined big shrimp
  • 1 oz yellow chives or scallions chopped finely
  • 15 wonton wrappers
  • Water for boiling wontons

Seasonings:

  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable bouillon powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 dashes white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon corn starch

Soup:

  • 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • Salt to taste
  • White pepper to taste
  • Sesame oil to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels and then cut each shrimp into 3-4 pieces.
  • Add half of the chopped yellow chives into the shrimp and marinate with the seasonings for 1 hour.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on your palm and put about 1 teaspoon (about 3-4 pieces of the shrimp) filling in the center of the wonton wrapper. Gather the corners of the wrapper with the other hand and pinch in the middle to “seal” the wonton. Make sure the wontons are sealed tight. Repeat until the filling is used up.
  • Prepare the soup first by bringing the vegetable broth to boil. Add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil to taste.
  • Heat up another pot with water. As soon as it boils, drop all wontons into the water. Stirring gently so the wontons don’t stick together. Continue to boil until the wontons are completely cooked and float to the top.
  • Transfer the wontons out with a strainer and into the Soup and serve immediately.

    I’ve made many a soup in my day but this is one I’ve never attempted. Probably the wontons intimidate me a bit. You made it sound easy. I’d have to eliminate the fish sauce due to allergies, but other than that, just might give it a go. Thank for bringing this delicious looking soup to my party this week.
