Calories 188kcal
Ingredients
- 40 wontons
- 12 ounce Chinese egg noodles
- 6 cups chicken broth
- ½ inch fresh ginger peeled
- 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoon dried shrimp (optional)
- ½ cup green onions stems removed
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 cup char siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoon diced green onions (for garnish)
- 1-2 cups fried wonton strips (for serving)
Instructions
- Place the ginger, green onions, dried shiitakes, dried shrimp and soy sauce in a large pot with the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Taste the broth and add additional salt to taste. If you used unsalted or homemade broth, you may need to add additional salt.
- While the broth is simmering, cook the wontons and noodles according to the instructions on the package(s) and set aside.
- Strain the broth to remove all the aromatics and place back on the stove to keep warm.
- Place some noodles, wontons and char siu (optional) in a bowl and ladle the broth over the top.
- Garnish with green onions and fried wonton strips and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to taste the broth before adding salt. Some store bought broths have a lot of salt, and homemade will typically have none. Salt to your taste preference.
- For a clearer soup, strain the broth through cheesecloth to remove any particles.
- To make it a full meal you can add pieces of chicken, turkey, pork, tofu, shrimp, etc.
- Serve it with a spicy chili oil like this Homemade Chili Oil from Woks of Life - this stuff is sooooo good!!
