What kind of dish is Wantan soup (Wonton soup)??

This is a recipe for soy sauce-flavored wonton soup. It’s a very easy and satisfying soup.
The smooth wontons and crunchy bok choy are a great combination.

I use ground pork with just the right amount of fat. I also recommend mixing in chopped shrimp.

The chicken broth mix is ​​delicious on its own, but I also make my own special soy sauce-flavored soup.

If you reduce the amount of water in this soup to 500g, it can also be used as soy sauce ramen soup.

If you freeze the soup with reduced water content and a stronger flavor, you can dilute it and use it in a variety of noodle dishes and soups.

Wontons are made by wrapping a filling, such as ground pork or chopped shrimp, in a flour wrapper and boiling it. They are often eaten as a soup topping.

Wontons are a famous Chinese dim sum dish. In Japan, wontons are also popular as a ramen topping.

The Chinese characters for wontons are “雲呑” or “餛飩” . “雲呑” is named for its cloud-like appearance. “餛飩” means chaotic.

Wonton-like dishes exist not only in China but all over the world, and are known by a variety of names.

The Difference Between Gyoza and Wontons

Gyoza 　

• Gyoza wrappers are thicker and round, approximately 10 cm in diameter.
• They are filled with a filling made from minced meat or chopped vegetables, folded in half, and folded up to create a pleated edge.
• Gyoza are typically eaten after boiling, dipped in sauce.

Wonton

• Wonton wrappers are thin and square, approximately 6 x 6 cm.
• They are filled with a small amount of minced pork or shrimp filling, and folded into a triangle.
• The main difference between wonton and gyoza is that wonton wrappers are made with kansui (water-based brine).
• Wontons are typically eaten as a soup topping.

    • Place the wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and apply water to two sides with your fingertips.
