Ingredients
Scale
Wontons
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- Wonton wrappers (about 30 wrappers)
Soup
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- 1 package egg noodles
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the wontons.
- Make Wonton Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about one teaspoon of the pork mixture onto the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press firmly along the edges to seal, making sure no air pockets remain. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Bake Wontons: Arrange the assembled wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the wontons turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Simmer Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add Vegetables: Add the chopped bok choy to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is slightly wilted but still crisp.
- Cook Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles following the package instructions. Drain and set aside once cooked.
- Season Broth: Stir the soy sauce and sliced green onions into the simmering broth to add depth of flavor.
- Prepare Serving Bowls: Divide the cooked egg noodles equally among serving bowls.
- Add Broth and Vegetables: Ladle the hot broth with bok choy over the noodles in each bowl.
- Add Wontons: Carefully place the baked wontons on top of the soup in each bowl.
- Serve: Serve the homemade wonton noodle soup immediately while hot and enjoy the comforting flavors.
Notes
- For a crispier wonton, you can pan-fry or deep-fry the wontons instead of baking.
- Feel free to substitute ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or shrimp based on preference.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce in the broth to taste to control saltiness.
- If bok choy is unavailable, try substituting with spinach, napa cabbage, or other leafy greens.
- Wonton wrappers typically come in packs of 40–50, so expect to have some leftover or adjust the filling quantity accordingly.
