Simple Wonton Noodle Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My Simply Wonton Noodle Soup is just that – Simple. Although there may be times when I feel like something a littler fancier, this simple wonton soup is my all time favourite and something I keep coming back too. Silky pork wontons and chewy egg noodles bathed in a flavoursome chicken broth is the perfect dinner to feed your family on a cozy autumn or winter night.

2 bowls of wonton noodle soup with chopsticks, small bowl chilli oil and small bowl of fried shallots.

Simple Wonton Noodle Soup

Wonton noodle soup is a beloved classic in Chinese cuisine, celebrated for its comforting and flavourful qualities. This soul-warming dish features delicate wontons filled with seasoned ground pork nestled in a bowl of steaming chicken broth with chewy egg noddles that add depth and texture to every mouthful.

Garnished with fresh spring/green onions and fried shallots for texture, each bite of wonton soup is a delightful balance of savoury, umami flavours that will warm you from the inside out. Perfect for a chilly day or any time you crave this ultimate comfort food.

You can also make this soup without the noodles and just have wonton soup!

Tip

The biggest tip I can give you when making the soup is to make sure you cook the wontons and the noodles in a separate saucepan to the broth. If you cook them in the broth, it will make the broth cloudy and alter the taste and texture (due to the starch on the noodles on wrappers).

❄️ Storage

FRIDGE:
Leftover wonton soup will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Keep any leftover wontons separate from the soup. If kept in the soup, the texture of the wonton skins will get soft and mushy due to it absorbing more broth.

FREEZE:
You can make the wontons ahead of time and freeze them. If doing this, lay the wontons on a lined baking tray (without touching each other), cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm. Once firm, you can then transfer them into zip-lock bags, label, date and freeze for up to 3 months. Cook directly from frozen giving them an extra 1-2 minutes cooking time.
You can make the broth too and freeze it. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight leak-proof container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

PORK WONTONS

  • 300g pork mince
  • 1 spring/green onion, finely sliced
  • 2cm piece ginger, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon each Shaoxing wine & oyster sauce (See Note 2)
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 250g packet (25 skins) wonton wrappers (See Note 3)

CHICKEN BROTH

  • 6 cups chicken stock (See Note 4)
  • 1 spring/green onion, tied in a knot (can also just cut into lengths)
  • 4cm piece ginger, cut into 5mm thick slices (Unpeeled is fine)
  • 2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed (See Note 5)
  • 1 tablespoon each soy sauce and Shaoxing wine
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

SOUP

  • 280g packet fresh egg noodles or 200g dried (See Note 6)
  • 1 bundle baby pak choy, trimmed and quartered lengthways (See Note 7)

TO SERVE

  • Sliced spring/green onions
  • Store-bought fried shallots
  • Chilli garlic crunch oil, chilli oil or sliced red chilli (Optional – See Note 8)

Instructions

WONTONS

  • To make the wontons, place all ingredients (except wrappers) into a medium bowl and mix vigorously until the mixture binds. Cover and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • To assemble, place 1 wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 1 heaped teaspoon of the mixture in the centre. Using a finger dipped in water, run your finger around half of the edges of the wrapper. Fold over (in half) to make a rectangular shape and enclose the filling. Lightly wet one of the corners with a little water and fold inward to overlap with the other corner. Press to seal. Repeat using remaining wrappers and pork mixture. Set aside covered with a damp tea towel until required or place into the fridge, covered.

CHICKEN BROTH

  • In a medium saucepan, combine chicken stock, spring/green onion, ginger, garlic cloves, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and sesame oil.
  • Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the aromatics with a slotted spoon.

TO SERVE

  • Meanwhile, while the broth simmers, cook your wontons, noodles and pak choy. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Working in batches, add the wontons and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and divide among serving bowls.
  • Return the water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook per packet instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, adding the pak choy in the last 1 minute. Drain into a colander then divide noodles and greens among serving bowls (with the wontons).
  • Ladle the chicken broth over the wontons, noodles and greens. Garnish with spring/green onions and fried shallots. Serve with Chilli Garlic Crunch Oil, Chilli oil or sliced red chilli on the side if desired.

Notes

  1. COOKS NOTES:
    Oven Temps: 
    Oven temperatures are for conventional, if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C.
    Measurements: We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 20 ml & 1 cup =  250 ml.
    Herbs: All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed.
    Vegetables: All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified.
    Eggs: We use extra-large size and eggs are 55-60 g each, unless specified.
  2. SHAOXING WINE
    I highly recommend using Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine). It is readily available these days from the Asian section of supermarkets such as Coles and Woolies. You can also purchase from Asian supermarkets. If you cant manage to find any, the best substitute is a a dry sherry.
  3. WONTON WRAPPERS
    I like to use the Supreme Wonton Wrappers which you can purchase at Coles. I prefer the yellow egg style wrapper but you can also buy wrappers from other large supermarkets such as Woolworths, Harris Farm or IGA. Alternately you can also purchase from your local Asian grocer. Other brand wontons wrappers usually have more in the packet (30+). If this is the case, just use a little less filling in each wrapper to stretch the filling out.
  4. CHICKEN STOCK
    You can use any chicken stock here. Chinese style chicken stock is usually a pretty clear broth. I used Knorr Chicken Powder No 28 to make the broth. It is available from large Coles or Woolworths supermarkets or you local Asian grocer. 
    Any chicken stock you have though works too. Homemade (the best), store-bought liquid chicken stock, regular chicken stock powder made up with boiling water etc. They all work perfectly well here.
  5. SMASHED GARLIC
    The garlic is used as a flavour enhancer in the broth. By only lightly smashing/bruising it it will give out loads of its garlicky flavour but without adding on ‘bits’ to the broth. You can leave peeled or unpeeled.
  6. USING FRESH OR DRIED EGG NOODLES 
    I used fresh chow mein egg noodles which I picked up at Woolworths in the fridge isle (near fresh pasta). If you near an Asian grocer, they sell great egg noodles. 
    If you cannot get fresh, it is perfectly ok to use dried egg noodles (cooked to directions on packet) which are available from Coles or Woolworths. 
  7. PAK CHOY & OTHER LEAFY ASIAN GREENS
    I used baby pak choy (also known as bok choy) for the soup. You can though use regular or baby Choy Sum or Chinese broccoli (Gai Larn) instead. Even spinach in a pinch.
  8. CHILLI GARLIC CRISP OIL
    You can use my recipe for Chilli Garlic Crisp Oil or you can use a store-bought crispy chilli oil or sauce. There are many brands out there these days. Marions Kitchen makes it, as well as brands such as this one Laoganma Spicy Chilli Sauce.

Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls ✨RECIPE✨ These Asian Pork & Broccolini Bowls ✨RECIPE✨

These pork bowls are SOOOO quick and easy to make and everyone, including the kids will enjoy it!

Not a fan of pork? Simply swap the pork mince out for extra lean beef, chicken or turkey!  You could also swap the broccolini out for snow peas, more green beans, Asian greens, zucchini or regular broccoli. 🥦 Simply use what’s you have or what your family enjoys! It’s very versatile - leave the chilli 🌶️ out or add more depending on your heat tolerance. 😎

Have a Happy day 🌺🌈

RECIPE ⬇️

1 tablespoon oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

HEALTHY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Recipe! This was lunch HEALTHY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS Recipe! 

This was lunch yesterday! Couple of my zucchini fritters with a poached egg, green leafy salad and a side of cherry tomatoes, red onion and some @stickybalsamic pearls. 

You could of course do so many things with these fritters. Serve with bacon, avocado, toast, smoked salmon, in a sandwich or wrap…the list is endless. 

Recipe below. I made them in my Thermomix but I have given directions for using a food processor. You could even just mix in a bowl. Just make sure you squeeze as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. You want the mixture to be quite firm so that you can almost shape them in the palm of your hand 🖐️ 

HEALHTY ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Makes 8 

600g zucchinis
2 teaspoons salt, divided
100g grated mozzarella
50g grated light cheese
2 spring/green onions, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
75g (1/2 cup) wholemeal self-raising flour
125g can corn kernels, drained

1 Grate the zucchini into a bowl. Add the 1 teaspoon of the salt and mix to combine. Transfer onto a clean tea towel, chux or cheesecloth and wring out to remove as much liquid as possible. (Squeeze this really well then squeeze again)

2 Place cheese, spring/green onions, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic granules, cumin, pepper and remaining salt into a food processor. Mix until throughly combined. 

3 Add the zucchini, egg and flour. Process until combined. Add the corn and fold through. The mixture should be quite firm . If it’s too wet, add some more flour. (you almost want to be able to shape them with your hands kinda firm).

4 Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 4 heaped spoonful of the mixture and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining mixture and a little more oil. Cool on a wire rack  and serve as desired.

Spiced Salmon with Couscous, Vegetables and Balsam Spiced Salmon with Couscous, Vegetables and Balsamic Pearls. 

This was such a healthy and delicious dinner!

I pretty much had a fridge raid on my vegetable drawer! I roasted some cauliflower, zucchini, red onion and capsicum and also did some steamed greens 🥦 

For the salmon , I made a dry rub with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli flakes, brown sugar, dried oregano and S & P.  I lightly oiled the fish then sprinkled the rub over to coat. Baked in a 180C air fryer for 6 minutes! 

I served all this with @ainsleyfoodscompany Moroccan medley couscous, a light sprinkle of crumbled feta and topped it off with the lovely  @stickybalsamic balsamic pearls for a burst of flavour in every bite!! (See Link in bio)

It was a cracker of a dish my friends 💚🍣

Have. fabulous Friday 🥂 😁
