Wonton Soup
Pork-filled wontons simmered directly in a light chicken broth with scallion and ginger, the wrapper thin enough to turn translucent.
Where it comes from
Wonton soup is a Cantonese dish built around thin dumplings cooked straight in the broth, distinct from northern Chinese jiaozi, which are usually boiled separately in plain water.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over building the broth with dried shrimp and pork bones for depth versus plain chicken stock, and over wrapper thickness, since a thick wrapper turns gummy in broth.
Nobody has published a wonton soup recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
