WONTON NOODLE SOUP
Steps:
- For the wonton filling: Place the shrimp, pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix with your hands to combine. Let marinate while you prepare the stock. (If time allows, marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight; refrigerate if marinating for more than 2 hours.)
- For the broth: Bring 2 quarts water to a simmer in a large saucepan or pot and whisk in the chicken base until completely dissolved. Add the remaining broth ingredients and let simmer for at least 5 minutes.
- Continue making the wontons: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with some of the beaten egg. Pinch in all the sides to make a small sack, enclosing the filling. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- For the noodles: Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. During the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time, add the wontons and continue to boil until the wontons are cooked through and float to the top. Drain the noodles and wontons.
- For the assembly: Ladle 2 cups of the broth into each of 4 deep bowls. Divide the noodles and wontons among the bowls. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil and then add the chicken. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 8-10 minutes or when chicken is cooked through. Strain, reserving broth. When chicken is cool enough, shred chicken into thin 1-inch strips.
- Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, add enough water to cover carrots and bring to a boil, add carrots and simmer covered until carrots are tender (2 minutes). Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
- To prepare wonton filing, combine chicken, tofu, scallions, garlic, minced ginger and hoisin sauce in a small bowl, mashing mixture together with a fork.
- Drop 1 tablespoon of filling onto center of wonton skin. Brush edges with water, then fold wonton into a triangle, pressing on the filling to remove trapped air and then press edges to seal. Bring together the two points of the triangle and then twist and press the points together. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton skins - making 12 wontons.
- In a saucepan combine the reserved broth (I would use the one I cooked the chicken in), the tamari (or soy sauce), star anise and ginger slice and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 minutes. Remove the star anise and ginger and discard.
- Meanwhile cook the wontons in a large pot of simmering water until the wontons rise to the surface (3-5 minutes). Drain and Set aside cooked wontons.
- To the broth add the bok choy, leek and carrots - bring to a simmer, then remove pan from heat. Add wontons to broth and then serve soup in bowls.

Tips:
- Choose the right wonton wrappers: Look for wonton wrappers that are thin and pliable, making them easy to fold and seal.
- Prepare the filling in advance: This will save time when you're ready to assemble the wontons. You can even make the filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
- Be careful not to overfill the wontons: Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal, and they may burst during cooking.
- Seal the wontons tightly: This will prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
- Cook the wontons in a large pot of boiling water: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: Cooking too many wontons at once will cause them to stick together and cook unevenly.
- Serve the wonton soup immediately: This is when it is at its best flavor.
Conclusion:
Wonton soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious wonton soup that the whole family will enjoy.
