Ingredients
- wonton wrappers
- shrimp, peeled and deveined
- chicken broth
- noodles
- green onions, chopped
- ginger, minced
- soy sauce
- sesame oil
- vegetables (e.g., bok choy, carrots)
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp filling by finely chopping peeled and deveined shrimp. Mix with minced ginger, a dash of soy sauce, and a few drops of sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Take wonton wrappers and place a small spoonful of shrimp mixture in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with water and fold into a triangle, then bring the two bottom corners together to create a classic wonton shape, sealing tightly.
- In a large pot, heat chicken broth over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Prepare vegetables by washing and chopping bok choy and carrots into bite-sized pieces.
- Add chopped vegetables to the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Cook noodles separately in boiling water according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water.
- Carefully drop prepared wontons into the simmering broth and cook for 4-5 minutes until they float and look translucent.
- Add cooked noodles to the soup and stir gently. Season with additional soy sauce and sesame oil to taste.
- Ladle soup into serving bowls, ensuring each portion has wontons, noodles, and vegetables.
- Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and serve hot.
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh shrimp and vibrant vegetables like bok choy and carrots for the best flavor and texture in your soup.
- Seal Those Wontons: Ensure that the edges of your wonton wrappers are well-sealed to prevent them from breaking apart while cooking.
- Customize Your Broth: Feel free to enhance your chicken broth with additional spices or herbs, such as star anise or garlic, for an extra depth of flavor.
- Don’t Overcook the Wontons: Keep an eye on your wontons as they cook; they’re ready when they float to the surface and become translucent.
- Add a Kick: For those who enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a splash of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to your soup before serving.
- Garnish Generously: Top your soup with plenty of chopped green onions and even some sesame seeds for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Meal Prep: You can prepare the wontons in advance and freeze them. When you're ready to enjoy the soup, simply drop the frozen wontons directly into the simmering broth!
