🍲 What Makes This Recipe So Good
Wonton egg drop soup combines two classic soups into one. Tender, pork-stuffed wontons are added to brothy, savory egg drop soup, creating a delicious dish that works well as both an appetizer and a main course. If you want to keep things light, pair it with our Chinese chicken salad. Veggies, oranges, almonds, and a tasty dressing that mimics the flavors of the soup. Yum! There’s SO much delicious flavor here. The ground pork is seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Then there’s the broth itself, with soy sauce, ginger, salt, and pepper. Green onions compliment both components, and you’re welcome to finish things off with a little sriracha, sweet chili sauce, or extra soy sauce. One thing I really love about wonton egg drop soup is how versatile it is. Add bok choy or mushrooms for an even heartier dish. Use store-bought filled wontons for less prep, putting dinner on the table even faster. Add more soy sauce or sesame oil if needed, or toss in a pinch of sugar if your soy sauce is too strong. You can easily adapt this recipe to meet almost any need.
👩‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Be careful not to over-fill the wonton wrappers! Use just 1 teaspoon of pork filling, even if it looks like you could add more. Overstuffing them can make them cook unevenly, but it can also cause them to burst open while they’re cooking. There are a few different ways to fold wontons, but I think the envelope method described below is the easiest. Just make sure you’re getting a good seal on the edges and to lightly press the corners together after folding. If you don’t, the wontons can lose their shape in the hot broth. Besides the wontons, a key component of wonton egg drop soup is the eggs! To get those long, thin egg ribbons, you want to whisk the eggs really well before adding them to the broth. When you’re pouring them in, technique matters, so keep this in mind. Pour them in super slowly, and make sure the liquid is swirling before you start pouring. Don’t stir the broth while pouring the eggs in, or immediately after adding the eggs. The eggs will start to cook on contact.
