To Serve

  • shallots (finely chopped)
  • bok choy (quartered, or Chinese broccoli cut into 10cm / 4″ lengths)
  • 40 – 50 g dried egg noodles (per person, optional)

Instructions
 

Wontons

  • Place Filling ingredients in a bowl. Use a potato masher to mash until fairly smooth – about 20 mashes. Don’t turn the prawn into a complete paste, small chunks are good.

Wrapping

  • Use 2 teaspoons to put the Filling on the wontons. Work in batches of 5 to 20 if confident. Brush 2 edges with water. Fold to seal, pressing out air.
  • Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal.
  • Place wrapped wontons into a container with a lid as you work.

Cooking/Freezing

  • To cook: bring a large pot of water to boil. Place wontons in water and cook for 4 minutes or until they float.
  • Remove with slotted spoon straight into serving bowls. Ladle over broth.
  • To freeze: Freeze uncooked in airtight containers. Cook from frozen for 6 to 8 minutes.

Broth

  • Place Broth ingredients in a saucepan over high heat.
  • Bring to simmer then reduce to medium high and simmer for 5 – 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Pick garlic and ginger out before using.

Assemble Soup

  • Prepare noodles according to packet directions. Place in serving bowl with cooked wontons.
  • Ladle over soup. Serve!

Notes

Avoid freezing if using defrosted frozen prawns. Adjust filling if needed based on wrappers used.
