Instructions

For the Wontons:

  • In a large bowl, mix the ground meat, minced shrimp, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, corn starch, egg, bouillon, msg, white pepper, sesame oil and shaoxing wine until well combined.
  • Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water to glue the edges, fold it in half to form a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two corners together to form a crown, and pinch to seal. Repeat until all the filling is used. See the video instruction.
  • In a small pot, add in water (about 1 liter) and bring it to a boil. Gently add the wontons and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they float to the top and are cooked through.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked wontons into the simmering broth or to your bowls.

For the Broth:

  • In a large pot, add in the peels and heads of the shrimps. Pour in 2liter of water, and cook for about 20-30 minutes. Once the broth is done, thaw the broth to get the clear soup or simply take out the shrimp remaining out of the pot using a colander.
  • Once you have the clear soup, add in all the seasonings: soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, bouillon, msg, white pepper, and green onion. Bring it to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Serving:

  • In a serving bowl, arrange the cooked wontons and bokcoy. Ladle the broth/soup into the bowl and garnish with green onion. Enjoy!
