Lemony wonton soup

Step by Step

Step 1

Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium/high heat. Add onion and ½ teaspoon of salt to the pot. Saute for 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the garlic and ginger and saute for an additional 2 minutes or until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, lemon juice, chili garlic sauce, and chicken broth to the pot. Whisk the ingredients together and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Turn to a simmer and let the broth simmer for 15-20 minutes.*

Step 5

Prepare the herb salad by tossing all of the ingredients together and set aside.

Step 6

Add the jalapenos, rice vinegar, honey, and salt to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 7

Bring the broth back to a boil and add the frozen wontons. Let the wontons cook in the boiling broth for 2-3 minutes. When the wontons are cooked, remove the pot from the heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately. Top each soup with the herb salad and the jalapenos.

Warning

You simmer the broth to enhance the flavor of the broth.
Be sure to add the wontons when frozen, or they may overcook and fall apart.
We recommend waiting to add the wontons to the soup right before serving.
We do not recommend using Chung’s brand wontons for this soup. They fell apart almost immediately. We recommend the Trader Joe’s brand of gyoza or a similar type of gyoza.
