Chicken Wonton Soup ｜ Homemade Chicken Wonton ｜ Budget Friendly Family Meal

Hi everyone, welcome to Cook Stacey Cook. Today we are making homemade chicken wonton. I will show you how to make wonton from scratch. We will go over how to prepare the filling and how to wrap the wonton. Then we will make a delicious homemade wonton soup. If you like wonton soup, you will be able to make one for yourself after watching this video. Let's get started. We are making wonton. We always start by making the filling. The filling we will make today is simple but delicious. I am using a stand mixer to mix the ingredients. You can also do this in a large bowl and mix it by hand. In the large bowl, add our main ingredient, the ground chicken. Then season it with some salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little bit of sugar, some white pepper powder, corn starch, and a little bit of grated ginger. Now start mixing and keep mixing until the chicken turns into the consistency of a paste. If you are doing it by hand, mix the filling in one direction until it turns into a paste. You don't have to mix it until it's as smooth as what you see on the screen. When you are done mixing, add a touch of sesame oil and mix it in. Now we are ready to wrap the wonton. You can find wonton wrappers in most major grocery stores nowadays. So prepare some wonton wrappers and a little bit of water to moisten the wrapper. And we will start wrapping. Take a piece of wrapper and place some filling in the center. You can place more or less filling to your liking. Then moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little bit of water and fold the wrapper diagonally but offset the corners a little bit. Press the two layers of wrapper together firmly. Then push the wrapper towards the center to form some pleats. And we have made ourselves a beautiful looking wonton. You can cook the wonton now or freeze it. To freeze the wonton, place it on a tray, cover up the tray and place it in the freezer. Once the wonton is completely frozen, you can store it in a bag and keep it in the freezer until you are ready to use it. Now that we have made some wonton, let's use it to make a quick and delicious wonton soup. We will need two slices of ginger. I also like to add some green vegetables like bok choy or spinach and something colorful like a few slices of carrots. We will also need some chopped green onions. You can use more or less to your liking. Now bring a pot of chicken broth to a boil. While it's heating up, add the ginger slices to the broth. If you are using unsalted chicken broth like me, season it with some salt. Once the broth comes up to a rolling boil, add the wonton. Gently stir the wonton occasionally and let the soup come back up to a boil. When the soup starts to boil, we can add the vegetable and carrot to the soup. Wait for the soup to come back to boil again. Then add the chopped green onion, a touch of sesame oil and some white pepper powder. And this wonton soup is ready to serve. This wonton soup is delicious. If you make the wonton ahead of time, making wonton soup is perfect for a quick meal. I hope you will give this chicken wonton recipe a try soon.
