I was satisfied trying to make wanton soup at home for the first time... happy with the result

you can make batches of the wanton and put in the freezer. thaw it before cooking...

WONTON SOUP


INGREDIENTS:
20 wonton wrappers
4 cups (950 ml) water
1 scallion, trimmed and cut into small rounds, for garnishing
Filling:
4 ounces (110 g) ground pork or ground beef
4 ounces (110 g) shelled and deveined shrimp, chopped into pieces
½ teaspoon fish sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes ground white pepper
Soup:
1 can (14 ounces/400 g) store-bought chicken broth
1 cup (240 ml) water
½ teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes ground white pepper
Salt, to taste

DIRECTION:
Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl, stir and mix well to form a sticky filling. 

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

To assemble the wontons, please follow the picture guide on this 

Bring the water to boil in a pot. Gently drop the wontons into the water and boil until they float to the top, about 1-2 minutes. 
Remove the wontons with a strainer or slotted spoon, drain the excess water, and cover them to prevent drying.

To make the soup, bring a pot of the chicken broth and water to boil. Add pepper and salt. Transfer 5 wontons into each soup bowl, add some broth, garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
