Shrimp Wonton With Noodles Recipes

WONTON NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a food processor and pulse a few times to coarsely chop. Combine celery, 1 tablespoon green onion, egg white, sesame oil, salt and 1 teaspoon cornstarch with shrimp and pulse a few more times to make a chunky paste. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir briskly until it becomes elastic.
• Lay the wonton wrappers on a flat surface and place a scant teaspoon of shrimp mixture in the center of each wrapper. Combine remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to form a paste. One at a time, brush some cornstarch paste around the edge of a wonton wrapper and fold the wrapper in half to make a semicircle, pressing edges together to seal. Then, holding the wonton with the curved edge facing away from you, bring the tips of the straight edge together and seal with more cornstarch paste. Repeat with remaining wontons.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles in boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and divide between 4 serving bowls.
• Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Bring another large pot of water to a boil and drop the wontons into the boiling water. When the wontons rise to the surface, continue to cook them one minute longer. Remove with a slotted spoon as they finish cooking and divide them among the 4 bowls.
• Pour hot chicken broth over wontons and noodles in bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions to serve.

• Coarsely chop the shrimp into pieces (not too small) and mix well with the rest of the ingredients. Set aside. Fill each wonton wrapper with about 1 heaping teaspoon of the shrimp filling. Seal the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg.
• Boil the wontons in boiling water for a couple of minutes or until they float to the top or steam the shrimp wontons for about 6-8 minutes in a steamer. Serve hot with ginger vinegar dipping sauce.

WONTON NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• For the wonton filling: Place the shrimp, pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix with your hands to combine. Let marinate while you prepare the stock. (If time allows, marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight; refrigerate if marinating for more than 2 hours.)
• For the broth: Bring 2 quarts water to a simmer in a large saucepan or pot and whisk in the chicken base until completely dissolved. Add the remaining broth ingredients and let simmer for at least 5 minutes.
• Continue making the wontons: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with some of the beaten egg. Pinch in all the sides to make a small sack, enclosing the filling. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• For the noodles: Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. During the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time, add the wontons and continue to boil until the wontons are cooked through and float to the top. Drain the noodles and wontons.
• For the assembly: Ladle 2 cups of the broth into each of 4 deep bowls. Divide the noodles and wontons among the bowls. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro.

CANTONESE WONTON NOODLES 廣東雲吞麵

Steps:

• Wipe the dried flounder fish with a damp cloth to remove dust and other debris
• Put the flounder fish on a baking rack and bake at 150˚C or 300˚F for 10 minutes on each side. Set aside
• Wash 30 g of dried shrimp and set aside
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Use approx. 4 L of water
• Put the pork bones into the boiling water for 5 minutes.
• Remove from water and submerse in cold water to loosen bone fragments. Rinse off loose parts with water and set aside
• Fill a pot with 2.5 L water
• Put the flounder, pork bones and dried shrimp into the pot and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring it to a low simmer. Do not let the soup boil. Boiling will make the soup cloudy. A good wonton noodle soup is clear and flavourful
• When you see tiny bubbles starting to form, add beansprouts, turn the heat to simmer and let it simmer for 4 hours
• In a pan, turn heat to low and add 2 tsp of the flounder fish powder and toast it for a few minutes until you can smell the aroma. Turn off heat and set aside
• Wash and devein shrimp and put into a mixing bowl. The ratio of the filling should be 70% shrimp, 20% pork fat and 10% lean pork. Fresh shrimp is best but frozen shrimp works as well. I used frozen shrimp and I used one per wonton. Cantonese wonton wrappers are small, so you may need to cut each shrimp into a few pieces.
• Finely dice the pork fat and put it into the mixing bowl
• Dice the pork and then chop it until it's pasty. Usually will take 5 minutes of chopping. Put it in the mixing bowl
• Add 1 egg, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp toasted flounder powder, ½ tsp white pepper powder, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp light soy sauce and 1 tsp fish sauce. Mix with your hands. Add 2 tsp sesame oil and mix again
• Pick up the contents in the mixing bowl in your hand and drop it back into the mixing bowl. Do this around 20 times to give the shrimp filling some elasticity and help it to bind together. If using frozen shrimp, it will not be likely that the shrimp will bind with the pork but that's okay.
• Let the filling marinate for around 30 minutes
• Take a wonton wrapper and put it in a diamond position
• Put some filling in the lower centre part of the wrapper Bear in mind that Cantonese wontons should be bite-size, so not too big
• Use the knife or spoon that you're using to pick up the filling to rub some of the filling residual on the bottom point of the wrapper to act as glue
• Fold the bottom point over the filling and just under the top point The top point and bottom point do not meet in order to create a "goldfish tail"
• Use the knife or spoon to rub some of the wet filling on the sides of the wonton wrapper to help it stick when you gently squeeze the wrapper together Don't worry if the filling is not completely sealed. If you use a big pot of boiling water to cook the wontons, the filling will not fall out
• It's very important to not squeeze too tightly. You want the filling to be loose as opposed to the filling being packed tightly
• Repeat until all the filling has been used and set aside
• Wontons can be freezed at this point. Remember to dust the bottom of the plate with flour or cornstarch before you put the wontons on it to be freezed
• After 4 hours, your soup should be quite flavourful so you can remove all the solids from the soup with a strainer
• Add 2 tbsp fish sauce (optional), 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp light soy sauce. Taste and make adjustments
• Bring the soup to a boil and then turn to simmer
• Wipe Chinese yellow chives and cut into 2 cm pieces. Set aside
• Bring a big pot of water, approx. 4-5 L to a boil A big pot of water ensures that the water temperature doesn't drop too much when you put in the wontons. If the temperature is too low, the wontons wrapper will get mushy
• Prepare bowls. Add some Chinese chives and sesame oil to the bowls. A little bit of soy sauce can also be added to the bowl
• Put the wontons in the boiling water for approx. 2-3 minutes until done. Remove from water and place in bowls
• Turn the heat up on the soup. It should be around 90˚C or 194˚F when you add it to the bowl
• Prepare a large mixing bowl filled with water. It will be used to give the noodles a rinse after it is cooked for the first time
• When the water is boiling, add the wonton noodles. Cook for approx. 2 minutes or until done
• Submerse the noodles in the water in the mixing bowl, give it a quick swirl, and put it back into the boiling water to reheat. Remove and put it into the bowl with the wontons
• Use a ladle to pour the soup into the bowl of wonton noodles
• Serve with Chinese red vinegar and/or chili oil sauce
• Heat a sauce pan or small pot using medium-high heat.
• Put 2 tbsp of oil and add chopped shallots and the white parts of the green onions
• Fry until aromatic. Bring heat down to low
• Add 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar and mix until sugar is dissolved
• Turn off heat and add 2 tsp of sesame oil
• Add the rest of the green onions
• Pour over wontons and/or noodles

WONTON NOODLE SOUP (云吞面)

Steps:

• We'll start by washing and cutting our bok choy into quarters along the stem.
• Set the stove to high heat and bring a pot of water to a boil. We'll want to use more water so that the noodles cook faster, which leads to a more chewy, springy texture.
• For our broth, we'll add water and chicken broth to the pot, and bring it to a boil.
• We'll dump the shrimp in as we start plating the bok choy on top of the noodles.
• We have a whole recipe and video on this, but if you're starting with raw wontons, you'll boil them for about 3-5 minutes until they start floating. We have some additional pro-tips for cooking in our wonton video so be sure to check the video out if you haven't seen it already.
• Transfer the wontons onto the bowl of noodles, and carefully pour in the soup broth. Garnish with green onions.
