Cook Noodles, Wontons, and Greens
Assemble and Serve
For the filling, use a mix of finely minced firm tofu, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and cabbage. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Add 1-2 finely minced red chilies or a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce to the wonton filling. Serve with extra chili oil.
Substitute the ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner version of the wonton filling.
Instead of or in addition to bok choy, you can blanch other leafy greens like choy sum, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), or spinach.
The combination of pork and shrimp provides a significant amount of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The broth is infused with ginger and garlic, both of which are known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties that can help support your body's natural defenses.
The warm, savory broth is not only comforting but also helps with hydration. The combination of flavors and warmth makes it a perfect meal for cold weather or when you're feeling under the weather.
Bok choy and napa cabbage contribute essential vitamins like Vitamin C and K, as well as folate and antioxidants, adding a nutritious boost to the soup.
A generous bowl of homemade Wonton Noodle Soup, as prepared in this recipe, contains approximately 700-800 calories, making it a substantial and satisfying main meal.
It can be a balanced meal, providing protein from pork and shrimp, carbohydrates from noodles, and vitamins from the bok choy. To make it healthier, use low-sodium broth, lean ground pork, and add more vegetables.
Yes, absolutely! You can prepare the wontons up to a day in advance and store them on a parchment-lined tray, covered, in the refrigerator. For longer storage, they freeze exceptionally well for up to 3 months.
For best results, store the broth, wontons, and noodles in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the broth on the stove until simmering, then add the wontons and noodles to warm through for a minute or two.
This usually happens if the wrappers are too dry or if you overfill them. Keep the wrappers you're not using under a damp cloth. Use only about 1 teaspoon of filling, and handle them gently when folding and sealing.
Thin, fresh or dried Hong Kong-style egg noodles are the most authentic choice. They have a distinct springy, 'al dente' texture that holds up well in the hot broth. You can find them in the refrigerated or dried goods section of most Asian grocery stores.
