Easy Homemade Wonton Soup Recipe (Chinese Takeout Style)

Mix the pork, scallion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and white pepper in a medium-sized bowl until combined.

Place a wonton wrapper onto a clean work surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dip a fingertip into water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold a pointy end over the filling and secure the edges. Press out any air. You will now have a triangle.

Make a little indention at the bottom of the wrapper. Run a little water on each of the bottom points of the triangle. Bring the points together and secure them by pressing the edges together firmly with your fingers. Refer to the visual tutorial for clarification.

Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. Place on a sheet tray covered with a clean kitchen towel while you work on making the wontons so they don’t dry out.

In a large pot over medium heat, add the chicken stock, ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Discard the solids out of the soup and keep warm.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add as many wontons as you are about to consume to the boiling water. Boil for 4 minutes. They will start to float.

Take the cooked wontons out of the water with a slotted spoon and place them into your serving bowl. Top with some of the soup and add more scallions. Serve immediately.
