  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp grated garlic (approximately 3 cloves)
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 to 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 34 to 36 square wonton wrappers
  • 4 large slices ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 dried shiitake mushroom
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 to 4 heads bok choy or 4 oz of any veggies you like
  • 2 portions egg noodles, I’m using precooked & ready to use egg noodles but you can also use dried or fresh one

Instruction

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for wontons except the wonton wrappers. Mix well with fork or chopsticks in one circular direction.
  • Bring one dumpling wrapper at a time one your palm and we the edges slightly with water. Place 1 heaping teaspoon filling in the middles and fold by bring all the edges together. No special skill required for this type of wonton, just makes sure it’s well sealed.
  • If you would like to freeze the dumplings at this stage, place dumplings on a baking sheet as one layer and not touching. Then freeze them a couple hours. Transfer frozen dumplings in a air tight plastic bag and seal tight. Keep it freeze.
  • When then wontons are ready, it’s time to make the noodle soup!
  • In a medium – large pot (for 2 portions), combine ginger, garlic, green onions, shiitake and chicken stock. Cover and bring it to boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile cut the bok choy into quarter.
  • Remove all solid ingredients and discard except shiitake. Slice the shiitake and set aside, because we’re going to serve in the soup!
  • Season the soup with soy sauce and fish sauce. You can use only soy sauce if you want, I just prefer the flavor from both.
  • Cook the egg noodles and bok choy in a separate boiling water, if you are cooking large amount or/and your egg noodles are dried or fresh one with lots of starch around.
  • I’m using precooked egg noodles, so just cooked in the soup for 1 minute. Removed from the soup and place in a serving bowl. I also cook the bok choy in the soup for 2 to 3 minutes or until it’s done as you desired. Remove from the soup and place on top of the noodles. Now is the time to place sliced shiitake in the bowl.
  • Carefully add wontons (5 per serving) into soup and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to your taste at this point.
  • Pour the wontons with the soup over the prepared noodles and veggies. Garnish with chopped green onions if you like. Enjoy!
