Ingredients

50 - 60 wonton wrappers ((Note 1))
200 g / 7 oz lean pork mince ((ground pork))
200 g / 7 oz peeled prawns / shrimp (, roughly chopped)
1 tbsp ginger (, finely grated (1.5" / 3cm piece))
2 shallots / green onions (, finely chopped (5 tbsp))
1 tbsp light soy sauce ((Note 2))
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((Shaoxing wine) (Note 3))
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sesame oil, toasted ((Note 4))
3 cups / 750 ml chicken broth ((Note 5))
2 garlic cloves (, smashed (6))
⅓" / 1 cm piece of ginger (, sliced (optional, but highly recommended))
1½ tbsp light soy sauce ((Note 2))
2 tsp sugar ((any))
1½ tbsp chinese cooking wine ((Note 3))
¼ - ½ tsp sesame oil
Shallots / scallions (, finely chopped)
Bok choy (, quartered, or Chinese broccoli cut into 10cm /4" lengths (optional))
40 - 50 g / 1.5 - 1.75 oz dried egg noodles per person (, (optional) (8))

Steps:

Place Filling ingredients in a bowl. Use a potato masher to mash until fairly smooth - about 20 mashes. Don't turn the prawn into a complete paste, small chunks are good.
Use My Way (better Wonton Soup experience!) or the Asian Grocery Store Way (easier to pack for freezing).
Lay Wontons on work surface. Use 2 teaspoons to put the Filling on the wontons. Work in batches of 5 if starting out, up to 15 or 20 if confident. Brush 2 edges with water. Fold to seal, pressing out air. Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal.
Place wrapped wontons into a container with a lid as you work (so they don't dry out).
To cook: bring a large pot of water to boil. Place wontons in water and cook for 4 minutes or until they float. Remove with slotted spoon straight into serving bowls. Ladle over broth.
To freeze: Freeze uncooked in airtight containers. Cook from frozen for 6 to 8 minutes. IMPORTANT: Do not freeze if you made this with defrosted frozen prawns. (Note 11)
Place Broth ingredients in a saucepan over high heat. Add white ends of scallions/shallots if leftover from Wonton filling.
Place lid on, bring to simmer then reduce to medium high and simmer for 5 - 10 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse. Pick garlic and ginger out before using.
If using vegetables, blanch in the soup broth and place in serving bowl.
Prepare noodles according to packet directions (if using noodles). Place in serving bowl with cooked wontons and blanched vegetables.
Ladle over soup. Serve!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

½ pound boneless pork loin, coarsely chopped
2 ounces peeled shrimp, finely chopped
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon finely chopped green onion
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
24 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
3 cups chicken stock
⅛ cup finely chopped green onion

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine pork, shrimp, sugar, wine, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chopped green onion and ginger. Blend well, and let stand for 25 to 30 minutes.
Place about one teaspoon of the filling at the center of each wonton skin. Moisten all 4 edges of wonton wrapper with water, then pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle. Press edges firmly to make a seal. Bring left and right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together. Continue until all wrappers are used.
FOR SOUP: Bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil. Drop wontons in, and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion, and serve.
