  • 250 grams shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 30 wonton wrappers
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger finely grated

  • Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg and fold to seal into a wonton shape.
  • Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot.
  • Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to the broth, stirring well.
  • Carefully add the wontons to the boiling broth and cook for 5-7 minutes until they float to the top.

Notes

For the best results, ensure that the wonton wrappers are sealed properly to prevent them from opening up during cooking. If you prefer a spicier soup, consider adding a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes to the broth. Additionally, try to use fresh shrimp for the filling to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
