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!

Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past sum Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past summer! So much has changed since then. I went to NY when I just graduated college and was introduced to the food scene for the first time ever thanks to my dear friend, Tina (hi girl!). Then, I went back this past summer and fell in love again with the food. I think New York does a modern take of asian food very well (doesn’t compromise the original flavors). Don’t get me wrong, there’s very tasty authentic food for really cheap too! One of my favorites is May Wah Fast Food in Chinatown where they serve delicious Taiwanese chicken rice for $6.50!

Check out my new blog post of the best places to eat in NY (in my opinion of course!!) [https://cookwithdana.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york/]

If you’re local to NY/visiting and tried one of the restaurants, send me a photo! I love to see and live vicariously through u.

We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-In We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-Inspired Dinner! We ate basil pork belly, braised soy sauce eggs, taro & pork belly (made by my dad!), shrimp toast, pork chops, and mango sticky rice for dessert. I made the dessert with my boyfriend, Theo and it took 10 minutes! We used @eatinnovasian Sticky White Rice mixed with sweetened coconut milk. Then, placed ripe yellow mango on top for a delicious thai-inspired dessert :) Swipe to see our food tasting reaction. #ad

Here’s a quick recipe on how I made the mango sticky rice - 

Ingredients:

- @EatInnovasian Sticky White Rice (half pack)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar (adjust to your own sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe yellow mango, sliced

Directions:

1. Heat up coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.
2. Heat up sticky white rice according to package directions.
3. Once the rice cools a little bit, add ¼ cup of the coconut mixture and mix together. Plate the rice with sliced yellow mango. Pour leftover sauce (as much as you’d like) on the mango and rice. 

Please note that this is not the same as thai mango sticky rice, but a great hack to get a quick, easy, & delicious thai inspired dessert :)

So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, Homecooked, is launching today! The book includes 15+ written recipes and video tutorials so you can watch exclusive, delicious, and calming video content all at once🤩! You can shop the cookbook in the link in my bio or go to cookwithdana.com/shop

All the recipes mean a lot to me because they were the foods that my parents made for me as a kid. As I've gotten older, I started appreciating these dishes more because they remind me of home! Most importantly, I wanted to pass down authentic recipes and share the meaning behind some Chinese traditions to my kids and virtual friends (hehe you!) 💜   If you grew up in a Cantonese household and you miss some 'homecooked' food, you have to make these recipes ◡̈  (I got Sai Yeung Choy Tong there for my canto gang!)

I've been cooking with my family this past year in the kitchen to taste test and film how to make their best dishes. We tweaked and MEASURED (IYKYK) all our recipes to ensure that you can have a taste of our home. Some of my favorite recipes in the cookbook are cha siu, crab with vermicelli, and pork & chive potstickers! It would mean the world to us if you cooked these recipes as well. 

Hope you get to cook an authentic Chinese feast or learn more about Chinese culture with Homecooked♥️💛 

If you wondered how the aesthetics are sooo 👌🏼, or you've already seen how BEAUTIFUL they look, all credit to my SUPER TALENTED friends @aiireeyo @lifted.and 

Also thank you for the ones the liked my first post hehe I messed up 🤣 and reposted again.

Check out my reels to see the ginger scallion lobster recipe and video. I used fresh lobster and fried the ginger and scallions in @cookwithyouyou tea seed oil! I love using the oil when cooking food in high heat (for that wok hei flavaa 😉)
