My Homemade Wonton Soup

Today I remembered some mince pork I have in my fridge from our local butcher so will venture into making dumplings!

I will try and recall every single step and post a pix too!

Have you ever tried making them? I hear it is simple so let’s get cooking.

So my dumpling soup was a total WIN!

Here how I ve done it: all ingredients are up to taste really, I cook with my eyes when it comes to measurement so it is up to your taste and smell.

In a bowl I squeezed 2 garlic cloves, added 3 tbs of dark soy sauce that my husband kindly bought in a special Asian store – for those in Ireland who are looking for the best Asian retail store it is located in: Asia Market in Ballymount D2 (mind you, you have to buy wholesale so make sure you get the quantities right 😉)

I can post pix of each products at the end.

So 2 garlic cloves, 3 TBs of dark soy sauce, 3 TBs of chives or Asian chives, a Ts of rice vinegar, Ts of ginger powder an egg, and my 200g of mince pork, mix all of these until well blended.

I also got the Wonton wrap from the Asia Market.

Put a ts of the mixture in the middle of the wrap, use a bit of water on the edges to seal your wonton and repeat for as many as filling you got.

Put a good bit of (I use rapeseed oil) vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry your dumplings 2 min each sides then cover them with water and let simmer for 5 min or until the pork mix properly cooks.

Set aside.

This meal needs to be cooked literally before plating and eating 😉

Prep 2 carrots, a bunch of mangetout, 2 spring onions, some brown Chinese mushrooms.

When I say prep 2 carrots it is, wash and peal then continuously peal them so you have nice shunks of carrots.  Cut the 2 spring onions finely and just wash and dry the Chinese brown mushrooms.

So in a pan pour a jug of water, once boiling add the miso mixture and simmer for a good 5-10 minutes That’s when you add all the veg and last the Wontons before serving 😊

I personally add a mixture of soy sauce chili and sesame sauce 😉 for the kick.

My kids and husband looooovvvveeeeed it

Enjoy!
