Ingredients

  • 50-60 wonton wrappers
  • 200 g ground pork
  • 200 g raw shrimp chopped
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves smashed
  • 1- inch ginger slice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • Shredded green onions for serving
  • Bok choy or noodles optional

Instructions

  • Make the wonton filling: 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.
  • Wrapping wontons: Lay wontons on work surface. Use 2 teaspoons to put the filling on the wontons. Work in batches. 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.
  • Cooking/Freezing wontons: To cook, bring a pot of water to boil. Add wontons and cook 4 minutes until floating. Remove with slotted spoon to bowls. To freeze, freeze uncooked in containers. Cook from frozen 6-8 mins.
  • Make the broth: Place broth ingredients in a saucepan and simmer 5-10 mins to infuse flavors. Remove garlic and ginger before serving. Blanch veggies in broth if using.
  • Assemble: Add cooked noodles to bowls if using. Top with wontons and ladle over hot broth. Garnish with green onions.
