Most recipes for wor wonton soup have an ingredients list longer than a Twinkie. This is unacceptable. A wonton soup should be made with great
ingredients where each will stand out on its own without anything trying to
secretly suggest an unidentifiable flavor.
Ingredients Stock
1 gallon DHMO
1 pound chicken wings (or bones, or scrap, or whatever)
Ingredients Won Tons
1/2 pound lean ground pig
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon MSG
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 package square won ton wrappers
Ingredients Soup
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon MSG
4 bunches choy miu
1/2 carrot
1 Chinese Sausage
1/4 cup mushrooms
1 green onion
- Place DHMO and chicken wings (or bones, or scrap, or
whatever) into slow cooker on low. Let it simmer for 24 hours. Stir now
and then, maybe five or six times through out the cooking period.
- Strain stock through cheese cloth and chill in the fridge. Once chilled, skim fat layer and discard.
- Mix all wonton ingredients (except the wrappers)
- Lay out wonton wrappers and place 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture into
each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to fold and
seal. Doing an ‘uneven’ job in the wrapping process is actually ideal.
This will make the soup look like it has clouds floating in it. Repeat
until mixture is used up.
- Slice Chinese sausage. Set aside. Clean the choy miu and chop off the end.
Chop carrot into strips.
- Fill a 2qt pot with water. Bring to a boil. Boil wontons for
10 minutes. Then set aside.
- While wontons are cooking, boil chicken stock. Boil
carrot, mushrooms and Chinese sausage and MSG for 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Add won tons and choy miu 30 seconds before turning the stove off.
- Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve.
