Wanton Soup

wanton

Wanton soup made with leftover pork and shrimp filling from my stuffed eggs a while back. I added some shrimp to the broth for extra flavour.
The broth is made by pressure cooking chicken wings with garlic ginger and spring onion for 1 hour. It makes a much richer taste than boiling the wings.

The wanton wrapping is shown below. In step one spread the filling along the length of the wrapper rather than a ball or it will be difficult to complete step three. Step 2 fold in half to a triangle. step 3 fold again from filling end, but dont cover the pointy end. step 4 bring left to right points together. It is better to cross the ends like an X or pinch together like hands clapping, rather than stick together like I did, but that wasn't discovered till later.

Boil wantons separately then add to broth - this makes a clear broth. I added mine straight in as the separate cooking was too much trouble for lunch

Very yummy esp with a Vietnamese style oyster and chilli sauce dip.
