Nov 23, 2024 12:14 AM
This wonton soup, with pork and ginger, is a fun and delicious take on a classic Chinese take-out dish.
This soup, with its refreshing gingery chicken broth, pork and ginger filling, along with a crunchy addition of romaine, is a light and wonderful first course to a multi-course Chinese-style feast. I also love it for a light lunch.
Making this wonton soup is actually pretty easy and the results are very satisfying. The most tedious part is wrapping the wontons. Fortunately, you can do this ahead of time if you like and then freeze the wonton for cooking later.
