Won Ton Soup With Pork and Snow Peas image

Tasty little "envelopes" of meat and vegetables in chicken stock seasoned with fresh ginger root, sesame oil and soy sauce. You can use purchased won ton wrappers, or make your own. Use home prepared chicken stock, or canned. The time spent on preparing this recipe is up to you. The recipe came from a basic cookbook that explains the art of Chinese cuisine. It's definitely a recipe you can "make from scratch," or take some shortcuts and still have an excellent won ton soup. My preparation time listed is just a guesstimate. If you choose not to make your own won ton wrappers, find them in the produce or freezer department at your market.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

32 ounces rich chicken broth
2 scallions or 2 green onions, whole
1 slice fresh gingerroot, the size of a quarter
2 tablespoons spinach or 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh,shredded
1 (10 ounce) box frozen snow peas or 1 (10 ounce) box fresh snow peas, strings removed and cut in 1/2
1/2 lb ground pork
1 tablespoon scallions or 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons spinach or 2 tablespoons leafy greens, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
12 wonton wrappers
2 quarts water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Additional salted water is to be used to pre-cook won tons before placing in broth.
  • Put water and 1 tsp salt in a stock pot; when all wrappers are filled, heat water to a boil.
  • Combine stock ingredients (excepting snow peas,) in a 2 quart stock pot; gently simmer while preparing won tons.
  • Mix all filling ingredients in a pie pan, then flatten mixture to cover the base of the pan; divide (as cutting a pie) into 12 wedges so each won ton will contain similar amounts of filling.
  • Keep unfilled/filled wrappers covered with a damp towel to keep them from drying.
  • Place each portion of filling on the center of a wrapper; moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold like an envelope, making sure all edges are adhered.
  • When all wrappers are filled, gently drop into boiling salted water; add 1/2 cup cold water and return to a boil, stirring gently so won tons don't stick to bottom of pan.
  • When won tons begin to float, cook for an additional minute then remove from water and drain; won tons will adhere to each other, so separate them.
  • Remove scallions/green onions and ginger slice from simmering broth and add halved snow peas and drained won tons; heat thoroughly, then portion 3 won tons in 4 bowls, with snow peas and broth divided among the bowls.

I'm not a fan of wontons, so I just added the pork and snow peas to the soup. It was still very good.

I'm not a big fan of snow peas, so I omitted them from the soup. It was still very good.

The wontons were a bit bland for my taste, but the broth was very flavorful.

This wonton soup was simply delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, the wontons were perfectly cooked, and the snow peas added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
