Steamed Wonton and Wonton Soup
Wonton is a very popular snack in China, but Ningbo Wonton is well-known for its long history and special local flavor. Ningbo Wonton has two types: steamed Wonton and Wonton soup. In the past, it was common to see lots of Wonton peddlers, who carried on their shoulders a kitchenette and material for Wonton, hawking all the way in the streets.

A good wonton is an egg dough skin filled with pork and shrimp. What we want to avoid is the wontons that are full of indistinguishable filling or require cherry cough syrup-like sweet and sour sauce. Any restaurant that will take the time to put two or three shrimp inside each of the hundreds of wontons they serve daily actually pays attention to detail.

Thanks for your question, we have just tried to have such a soup several weeks ago and almost I can give you some guide points, as you know, I give only the main points, and you may alter is as you wish.

First you must crop to pork and shrimp to mince by Japanese-style kitchen knife (like the square kind) or food processor, to our Chinese habit, we perfer using knife instead of food processor for better flavor, we Chinese believe that the food processor blades make the meat juice loss too much. Back 20-30 years, when China was not so developed, the dries small shrimps were good seasoning ingredients for port minced wonton, we used add quite few minced small dry shrimps into the pork mince.

Of course, today's special fashion wonton served in restaurant often with minced leaf vegetables with the pork mince (but please note the pork mince filling is always dominant in Chinese wonton), and the key to deal with minced vegetable is to hard press and make the green water out, warp with the Tofu screen (gauze or that sort) may helps for beginners.

About how to season the mince, I have a idea, imagine your bowl of mince is a bowl of water / soup or something like that, add the salt, MSG (or never?), pepper power etc., then the taste may not too much far away. :-) Taste it as you mix it of course.

About the soup, the key to make the wonton looks likes professional is proper using amylum (never flour!), first mix approx. 5g amylum with 10 times cold water in a small bowl, whip right for the density equally when the soup light boiling, and whip the soup properly to make the soup density equally, when the soup boil again, you will see the soup becomes thicker. Then slight boil the wontons until they all prone to float up, that's ok~ Quite simple?

We are all eager to see your wotons and taste it of course.

Do you have other information for this page?
