  • 300 grams minced chicken (see notes after the recipe)
  • ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ⅛ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons grated carrot
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced scallions
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce

  • fresh egg noodles for four, blanched and drained
  • finely sliced scallions

Instructions
 

Make the chicken wonton filling

  • In a bowl, mix together the minced chicken, garlic, ginger, carrot and scallions.
  • In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, potato starch, sesame seed oil and Shaoxing wine.
  • Pour the mixed seasonings over the chicken mixture. Mix well until the coloring is uniform (see notes after the recipe).

Wrap the chicken wontons

  • Separate the wonton wrappers.
  • Take one wrapper, place on the palm of one hand and drop a teaspoonful of filling at the center.
  • Moisten all the edges of the wrapper with water.

  • Gather two opposite edges and press them together making sure that the filling stays at the center.
  • Bend the folded wonton toward you until the unfilled sides overlap at the bottom.

  • Moisten one of the overlapping ends and press the other end over it to seal.

  • Repeat until all the wonton skins are filled or until you run out of filling, whichever comes first.

Cook the chicken wontons

  • Boil water, at least three inches deep, in a pot or wok.
  • When the water is boiling profusely, drop in half of the wontons one by one. The water will stop boiling for a while as the temperature drops after the addition of the wontons.
    Cooking wontons in boiling water
  • Allow the water to come to a boil once more then wait for the wontons to float to the surface. They are done at this point. The cooking takes about four to five minutes.
  • Scoop out the wontons with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
  • Repeat the cooking process for the remaining half of the wontons.

Assemble your chicken wonton noodle soup

  • Heat your chicken bone broth.
  • While the broth heats, divide the noodles into four portions and drop into bowls.
  • Arrange the cooked wontons beside the noodles.
  • Sprinkle in sliced scallions.
  • Pour in hot broth and garnish with fried shallots.

Notes

Grocery-bought ground chicken is usually ground skinless chicken breast meat which I do not like. So, for the chicken wonton filling, I minced skin-on chicken thigh fillets. It’s added work, I know, but the fatty chicken skin gave the wontons better mouth feel and flavor. The fat acted as a natural binder too.
If you’re not in a hurry, the filling develops even better texture if allowed to sit in the fridge overnight.
