Description
A heartwarming bowl of wonton soup perfect for chilly nights, filled with tender wontons and a savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces ground beef (70% lean / 30% fat)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons light sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine substitute (or broth/juice)
- ¾ teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional)
- 1 stalk green onion (thinly sliced)
- 44 sheets wonton wrapper
- 8 cups unsalted chicken stock (or water)
- 1½ tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine substitute
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- 2½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce (to taste)
- Dash of white pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 stalk green onion (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine substitute, and thinly sliced green onion. Mix until fully combined.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold over to create a triangle, then bring the corners together to form a parcel. Repeat until all wontons are made.
- In a large pot, bring the unsalted chicken stock or water to a gentle boil. Add Shaoxing rice wine substitute, chicken bouillon powder, salt, sugar, dark soy sauce, white pepper, and sesame oil. Let it simmer to develop flavors.
- Gently add wontons to the pot and stir to prevent sticking. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they float to the surface and look plump and tender.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with additional green onion before serving.
Notes
Make wontons in advance and freeze for later. Substitute ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
