Wonton originally comes from China. Usually served as a soup or deep fried. Won ton means swallowing clouds in Cantonese. The skin can easily bought from any Chinese groceries, even from local supermarket.

Steps

1 hour

1

Put the finely chopped garlic, minced meat and the coriander into a big bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt and a spoon of corn flour. Mix them well with your hand.
2

To wrap, take one piece of the wrapper, put the meat in the middle, gather all the edges upward. Pinch in the middle where it all gathered. I find this way is the quickest since you don't need to wet the edge of the wrapper with water to seal them.
3

After an hour later, they would looks like this. It's my first time, so it might be quicker for others who make this often.
4

Put the soup stock in a boiling water, I only use 1/3 from a cube of this pho soup base for 1 bowl of wonton soup.
5

Once the water bring to boil, add the wonton then the pok choi. It took about 10 mins, but I cut one wonton in half to make sure the meat is cooked, you don't want it under cook or over cook.
6

Once it's cook, pour them into a bowl, ready to serve.
7

For those who fancy it with a bit of chilli kick I add the chilli paste on top and also sprinkle some fried garlic for extra crunch and good fragrance.
8

Since it's a lot, I fried some of them for entree or snack. Served with sweet chilli sauce. Enjoy! You can freeze the rest if you make too much.

Just started to love cooking because of the lockdown. Not able to eat out anymore but my mind is full of things I want to eat. So I am learning to make my own food and have fun experimenting with it.
