Asian Wonton Soup

 

 

​

This is a wonton soup created from a mixture of Chinese, Thai and my imagination. It has a homemade chicken/pork stock and pork/chicken/shrimp filled wanton.

- 1 Pkg Wonton Wrappers

​

Directions:

​Sealing:

- Place small bowl of water on table nearby to use for sealing wantons.

- Hold round wonton wrapper in hand. Put about 1 heaping tsp of filling in center of

  wonton. Dip tip of finger in water and seal the edges of the wanton. Fold

  the wonton edges up and - press together forming a small pouch or bag and

  press together to seal.

- It may not be beautiful, but it tastes wonderful.

 

​

Cooking:

- In a medium or large pan, put enough vegetable oil to barely cover bottom

  and heat on Med-high until it shimmers.

- Place wontons on pan and cook until bottom is golden brown and delicious

  (GB&D). 

- Add enough water to pan until water is about ¼ of the way up the wontons.

  Cover and steam about 5 minutes until wontons are cooked. Remove lid and

  allow remaining water to evaporate or pour it out depending on doneness.
