Description
A warm and comforting soup filled with tender homemade wontons and a savory broth, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces ground beef (70% lean / 30% fat)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons light sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine substitute (or broth/juice)
- ¾ teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional for color)
- 1 stalk green onion (thinly sliced)
- 44 sheets wonton wrapper
- 8 cups unsalted chicken stock (or water)
- 1½ tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine substitute
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- 2½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon dark soy sauce (more or less for color)
- Dash of white pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 stalk green onion (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine substitute, and thinly sliced green onion. Mix well until fully combined.
- Take a wonton wrapper, place about a teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center, moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper to create a triangle, then bring the corners together to form a parcel. Repeat until all wontons are made.
- In a large pot, bring unsalted chicken stock or water to a gentle boil. Add Shaoxing rice wine, chicken bouillon powder, salt, granulated sugar, dark soy sauce, white pepper, and toasted sesame oil. Let simmer to develop flavors.
- Add wontons to the pot and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until they float and look plump.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with additional green onion before serving. Enjoy the warmth and comfort!
Notes
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Assemble wontons ahead of time for quick meals.
