Need help making Won Ton soup

[Talies R]

Does anybody have their own home made recipe for won ton soup?

[Ben]

INGREDIENTS:

* 1/2 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
* 1/8 cup finely chopped green onion

DIRECTIONS:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Thanks Ben I'm gonna give that a try! I'll post a pic after

I forgot to ask you, how many people would that serve?

[Ben]

generally served with a meal, so between 4 and 6 (24 wontons / 6 people = 4 wontons each plus approx 4oz of broth)

Save yourself the hassle, there's a place on Centre Street North called Fortune foods (across the street from a Buddist temple). They sell them frozen for like $5.00/50 (or something like that).

Or if you want the best WonTon go to Kings on Barlow and Center (in the NE). The best... (although I get it without the noodles and they fill it with more veggies for you instead)

Kings is dank.


If your going to make your own won tons, squeze a whole prawn in there with some pork

I add chopped green onions to the soup and add a couple of drops of sesame oil.
