Shrimp Wonton with Noodles image

I've loved shrimp wontons with noodles since I was a child. It's a typical Cantonese (Southern Chinese) recipe and is found in most tea cafes in Hong Kong. Most of the time wontons contain pork but I prefer those with shrimp only.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) packages thick rice noodles (he fun)
½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 egg white, beaten
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Soak rice noodles in a bowl of cold water until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add noodles; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Place shrimp on a flat work surface; pound with a meat tenderizer until a thick paste forms. Mix in sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place a wonton wrapper diagonally on a flat work surface. Add a spoonful of shrimp paste above the center of the wrapper. Dip a finger in egg white and dab it on the top corner. Fold top corner over to just cover the shrimp paste. Dab egg white on the fold; overlap left and right corners in the center. Repeat with remaining wrappers and shrimp.
  • Bring chicken broth and water to a boil in a large pot. Add wontons. Cook over medium-high heat until wontons float to the surface, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide noodles among serving bowls; sprinkle scallions on top. Divide wontons among bowls. Cover with hot broth.

The wontons were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I will try baking them next time.

The shrimp wontons were delicious, but I found the filling to be a bit bland. I added some extra ginger and garlic to taste.
