Wonton Soup Homemade. Recipe 84-In the Kitchen With Sandy

Homemade Wonton Soup

Ingredients for Wonton meat filling:

Wonton Wrappers
1/4 tsp. Sesame Oil
6oz Ground Pork
1 tsp. Soy Sauce
1 Chopped Green onion
2 Small Cloves Fresh garlic (Minced)
1/4 tsp. Ginger (you can use fresh if you have it on hand)
1 tsp. Dry Sherry
1 tsp. Corn Starch
1 tsp. Sugar

Ingredients for Wonton Broth:\

2 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
2 Cup water
3 Whole cloves of Garlic (Large)
1/4 tsp. Ginger
2 Green onions ( cut in half)
1 tsp. Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder


Direction:\
In medium bowl, Combine all ingredients, (Except wrappers of course), for meat filling thoroughly
In Medium to large pot, Combine all ingredients for Wonton Broth and bring to a boil.  Cover with lid and reduce heat to simmer.  While Broth is simmering, You may begin to fill your wonton wrappers with meat filling.
To fill Wonton wrappers with meat filling, Take 1 Wrapper, with your finger, moisten 2 sides of wrapper, as seen in my video, add 1 tsp meat filling to center of Wrapper and bring corners together.  Pinch sides to seal.  Moisten one of the remaining corners and bring together.  Continue this process until all Wontons are filled.
Once all Wontons are filled, Remove whole garlic cloves and green onions from broth and disregard.  Carefully drop one at a time into simmering broth.  Cook on medium/low heat for 12-15 minutes.  Stir often carefully not to disrupt Wontons.  Garnish with Fresh green onions (chopped), ENJOY!
