Answers: How do you make wonton soup from scratch?

• Wonton soup recipe
• Wrapping wontons
• Peeling ginger with a teaspoon
• Preparing wonton filling
• Cooking wontons in stock

Ingredients

• 800 ml chicken stock
• fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 12 raw king prawns
• 3 spring onion
• water chestnuts
• 1 teaspoon cornflour
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice wine
• wonton skins
• egg

What it concludes

• Peeling ginger with a teaspoon is the easiest way to peel ginger.
• Cooking wontons directly in the soup makes the soup cloudy, so boiling them in a separate pan of water can prevent cloudiness.
• Wonton skins should be thawed out for about half a day before separating them.
