Wonton soup is arguably one the most popular and well-known of all Chinese soups. It can be as simple or a complicated as you ant to make it. Here is a recipe that is somewhere in the middle, and yields great results.
Ingredients
For the Wontons
375g Pork (fillet / loin - most cuts are suitable - even bacon)
2 Cloves garlic
6 Generous slices of fresh ginger
3 Spring onions - whites only (reserve greens for soup)
Place all of the wonton ingredients in your food processor and chop until medium-fine
Allow the filling to marinate for 2hrs in your refrigerator
Lay out you wonton wrappers a few at a time. Place a heaped teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper
Wet the edges of the wrappers using you finger dipped in water
Fold the wrappers over, corner to corner. Wet one of the sharp corners and fold the 2 sharp corners downward to meet one another. Repeat until all of the wrappers are folded.
For the Soup
Pour all of the soup ingredients into you wok or pot, except the cornflour and spring onion greens
Bring the mixture to the boil
Mix the cornflour with a little water and add this to the soup
Add the spring onion greens to the soup
Add the wontons to the soup and allow the to cook at a rolling boil for 4-5 minutes
Remove from the heat and serve immediately
Notes
Shredded Chinese cabbage, bok choy, or Chinese spinach can also be added to the soup - add these towards the end and cook until just wilted
