Ingredients

For the Wontons

  • 250 g pork mince ground pork
  • 250 g peeled prawns finely chopped
  • 3 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 packet wanton wrappers 40-50

For the soup

  • 6 cups chicken broth (1.5 litres)
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
  • 3 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 packet egg noodles
  • 1 bunch Chinese greens choy sum or pak choi

Instructions

To make the wontons

  • In a large bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients. Set aside to marinade for at least 1 hour.
  • Lay out the wonton wrappers out on the kitchen surface. (I work with 6 at a time).
  • Add a heaped teaspoon of filling into the middle of each wrapper.
  • Dip a finger in a cup of water and wet the top edges of the wrapper. Now fold the wrapper up to seal it and then fold the top around towards you and join the two corners in front of you (See blog post above for step by step pictures). Keep covered with a tea towel or plastic wrap while you make the rest.

For the soup

  • Add the broth, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, sugar and sesame oil to a pan and bring to the boil.
  • Turn the heat down and allow to simmer for around 10 minutes.
  • Add the noodles and cook according to packet instructions. Use tongs or chopsticks to transfer noodles to your serving bowls.
  • Meanwhile cook the wontons - bring a separate pot of water to the boil. Add 4 -5 wontons per person and cook for around 4 minutes, or until they float. Transfer to the serving bowl with the noodles. (The remaining wontons can be frozen for later)
  • Add the Chinese greens to the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook, you want them to still have some bite. Add to the serving bowls with the noodles and wontons.
  • Remove the ginger and garlic from the broth and pour over the noodles and wontons to serve.

Notes

This recipe makes enough wontons for 2 batches, so that next time you want to make the soup, you already have the wontons so it is much quicker.
Be sure to freeze the remaining wontons for later. To cook from frozen there is no need to defrost first. Just add to boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
