Chinese Shrimp Wonton Soup

August 19, 2014 19 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chinese Cantonese style Shrimp Wonton Soup.

I have made several wonton soup recipes on this little Chinese food blog and this one is my current favorite. This version comes out really great with the highlights of shrimp.  Different from Sichuan style wonton soup, Cantonese wonton soup usually calls for seafood as filling and serve with mild soup base. If you are interested in Sichuan style red oil wonton soup, check here Spicy wonton soup.

Firstly, we need to make the shrimp filling.

In a large bowl, mix minced pork (you can also add chicken)and shrimp with green onions, grated ginger, coriander, light soy sauce, egg white, sesame oil and salt. Stir in one direction until the filling becomes sticky and you get a paste texture(do not be lazy ,all the hard work will pay off at the end).

Secondly, assemble the Wontons.There are many ways to assemble wontons. I have listed the basic methods the two wonton recipes below. Choose one that seems easy and comfortable for you. Just seal them completely so that the filling will not come out during the cooking process.

    Thank-you so much for the recipe! My husband is crazy about it and I’m going to make it for the 2nd time tonight. I saw you served it with green onions and cilantro, any other ideas for what to serve in the soup? I was thinking maybe some nappa cabbage might be good or other shredded veggies. If you have tried anything that’s really good please let me know, my husband is Japanese, so even “strange” things like different types of seaweed are good for us. Thanks again!

      Hi Sarah,
      Green onions and cilantro are commonly used in shrimp wonton. But adding some favorite shredded veggies sounds like a great idea. I have not tried yet and I will update the recipe if I meet with wonderful ideas.

    Hello Elaine, this is my first time on your blog and the recipe looks so delish! I was just wondering if 3-4 minutes really are enough to cook all the meat properly? Or do they need some kind of preperation beforehand (I’d replace all the pork with chicken too, does that change anything?)
    Thank you very much in advance and greetings from Berlin!

      Hi Bilge,
      3-4 minutes in boiling water is enough for tender and well cooked meat as wonton is not big at all.There is no need to cook them beforehand.

    Hi Elaine, just wondering how many tablespoons of chopped cilantro did you use in the wonton filling? 1 tablespoon? Thanks

      Hi Nina,
      I usually use 2 small corianders, especially the stem part.Sorry I did not measure it in tablespoon. You just need a similar amount.
