Mr. Man was not feeling particular well this week, cooking kind of went out of the window. I know that besides a hot toddy and vicks…… a hot and spicy soup can do the job to help elevate the nuisance of a cold or flu. So I came round and fixed him up this lovely soothing Wonton soup, to help him feel souper again!
Here’s how I made it:
Ingredients for Wonton:
- (Fresh) Wonton wrappers
- Minced pork
- Finely chopped chilli (as much or a little as you want)
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon of soya sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
- A sprinkling of flour
- 2 finely chopped spring onions
- A sprinkling of white pepper (I used black because that was all I had)
Broth
- 3-4 Cups of water with chicken stock cube or chicken stock
- Finely chopped chilli
- Finely chopped garlic
- 1 Tablespoon of fish sauce
- 1 Tablespoon ginger
- 1 Finely chopped spring onion
- 2-3 Baskets of noodles
- Chinese broccoli
How it all happened:
- Combine with all the ingredients together with the minced pork.
- Take a wrapper in your hand, place a heaped teaspoon to the middle.
- Moisten a right angel ‘L’ shape and fold over to create a triangle. Gently press down the outer sides. Bring left and right corners together above the filling, overlap corners and moisten to stick together.
- Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers (until you run out of mixture or wonton wrappers).
- In a pan add the water, a chicken stock cube, chilli, garlic, ginger and fish sauce to the pan to the boil.
- Drop in wontons- should take a few minutes. (When they rise to the top they are done).
- (After a minute) Add the Chinese broccoli for 3 mins.
- (After a minute) Add in noodles for 2 mins (or what the instructions tell you).
Serve and garnish with coriander and Sriracha sauce to taste. Yum!
