Wonton Soup Ingredients :

• 60 Wonton Wrappers
• 2 cups of chopped shrimp
• 1 lb. of ground meat, like pork or turkey
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
• 1 egg white
• 2 tsp soya sauce
• 2 tsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbs rice wine vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp fresh ginger grated finely
• salt
• pepper
• 2 cups Pea pod stem vegetable
• 6 cups of Broth or Soup

1. Chop the shrimp in to fine pieces using a cleaver. It does not have to be super fine.
2. Mix together ground meat, onion, sugar, ginger, soya and hoisin sauce.  Mix in a food processor until finely blended into a paste.
3. Take the meat mixture out of the food processor and fold in the shrimp.
4. Wrap the wonton by holding the square wrapper diagonally in your hand.  Place the meat in the center of the square wonton wrapper. Fold over into a triangle.
5. Dip finger in egg white and dab a small amount on one corner of the triangle.  Fold and knead both corners together.  If I am in a hurry I will usually not bother kneading the corners together and leave the wontons in a triangle.
6. Boil 4 quarts of water in large pot.
7. When the water comes to a rolling boil, put the wontons gently in.  Let cook for about 5 minutes or until the wontons “float” to the surface.  This will let you know that they are cooked.
8. Drain the wontons and rinse in cool water.  Discard the hot water.
9. To make the soup, boil the broth or chicken soup.  When the soup comes to a rolling boil, add the Pea Pod Stem.  Let cook for about 5 minutes.
10. Spoon hot soup over wontons and serve with Chinese Yok Fun dipping sauce.
