Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup

Shrimp wonton noodle soup is a classic Hong Kong noodle dish. It is served in most Hong Kong cafes’ as a quick lunch. The tender shrimp wontons and the bouncy egg noodles is the ultimate combo.

This easy shrimp wonton soup doesn’t require too many ingredients but it does require some time to wrap these beautiful dumplings. You can check out the video to see how to make the shrimp wonton soup.

I love dumplings and I have a few on the blog. Here are my favorite dumplings recipes to try out!

  • pork and shrimp wonton recipe – scrumptious pork and shrimp wontons in a spicy sauce
  • japchae potstickers – fried wontons that satisfy your taste buds
  • chili oil – this is the chili oil that is used for this wonton soup (and the one that you see in the video)

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR SHRIMP WONTON NOODLE SOUP:

Filling:

  • shrimp
  • egg white
  • salt
  • white pepper
  • corn starch
  • chicken bouillon
  • green onions
  • ginger

Wontons:

  • filling
  • wonton wrapper (half pack will be used)
  • egg yolk or water (to close the wontons)

Soup:

  • egg noodles
  • napa cabbage (optional)
  • chicken broth
  • salt
  • white pepper
  • sesame oil
  • starch wonton water (leftover water from boiling wontons)

STEPS TO MAKE THE SHRIMP WONTON NOODLE SOUP:

  1. Clean and de-vein your shrimp. Then, finely mince the shrimp with your knife until it forms a paste. Alternatively, you can place shrimp in a food processor.
  2. Place minced shrimp in a bowl. Then, cut in small pieces of shrimp and add in the minced shrimp bowl (for texture). Then, add 1 egg white, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 tablespoon corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, 2 sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger. Mix well until it forms a paste.
  3. To wrap the wontons: add 1/2 tbs filling to the center of the wonton wrapper. Add egg to the top and fold in a triangle. Seal the sides of the triangle (be careful not to add water to the sides because the wonton will get soggy and break). Add egg to the left angle of the triangle. Connect the right angle of the triangle with the left.
  4. Add water in a pot and heat pot to medium-high heat. Once the water starts boiling, add egg noodles. Cook according to package directions and strain noodles. Using the same water as the egg noodles, add wontons to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes. The wontons are done when they float to the top. Don’t throw away the starchy water yet!
  5. To make the wonton soup, add 2 cups chicken broth in a pot and heat pot to medium-high heat. Add napa cabbage and cook until soft. Once soft, add 1 teaspoon salt, pinch of white pepper and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil for flavoring. Add 1/2 cup of the starchy wonton water from step 4 to the broth for delicious flavor! Turn off the heat and add your sliced green onions.
  6. To assemble, add egg noodles and wontons in a bowl. Then pour your wonton soup on top! I love eating my wontons with some vinegar and chili oil!

My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look forward to when my mom would make cheung fun or Hong Kong rice noodles for me as a kid on her way to work on saturday and sunday mornings. Hong Kong rice noodles are known as Cheung fun (腸粉) in Cantonese. Cheung Fun is a popular street snack in Hong Kong and is often served as a dim sum item. These rice noodles are super soft & jiggly after steaming. The rice noodles consists of many layers of noodles so it’s perfect for adding sauces on top. I recommend sauces like XO sauce (dried scallop and shrimp chili oil), hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and oyster sauce for the ultimate food bite! 

google ‘rice noodle dana’ for full recipe or click link in bioooo! 💖 have a lovely weekend my dumplings!

Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast and milk tea combo for brekkies 💭My secret ingredient for my hong kong french toast is dairy milk! I dip shokupan (Japanese white bread or asian style white bread) in dairy milk which really helps soften the bread for extra fluffiness and then dip in egg batter and panko bread crumbs (non-traditional method but SO GOOD!) for that extra crispy bite 😋#gonnaneedmilk

Not only is milk a great ingredient for cooking, milk contains 4 B vitamins, which helps our bodies convert food into energy. So essentially the milk in milk tea is a quick and easy way to kickstart your busy day with energy. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t worry, lactose-free milk  has all the same nutritional benefits as traditional milk! So… when are you trying this recipe?

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.
