Wonton Filling:
- 200g ground pork
- 200 g peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 stalk of scallion (pro-tip: thinly sliced the scallion so it’s easy to wrap the filling into the wonton wrapper)
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sesame oil, toasted
- 1/8 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp Chicken bullion powder

Instructions:

- Then add to a large mixing bowl with your ground pork, then add minced ginger, thinly sliced scallions, light soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, salt, sesame oil, white pepper, chicken bullion powder and sugar
- Combine ingredients. Pro-tip: use a pair of chopsticks mix in one direction until it forms a sticky paste.
- To make your wonton, place a teaspoon of filling in the center of your wrapper. Wet all sides of your wrapper with water, then fold over into a triangle and seal, squeezing out any air pockets. Hold for 5 seconds. Then wet the two long corners of your wonton and connect them together. Hold for 5 seconds. Pro-tip holding for 5 seconds ensures the wonton wrapper stays intact.
- Bring water to boil. Lower wontons and boil for 2-3 minutes or until they float. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Boil egg noodles according to package instructions.

Place lid on, bring to a simmer then reduce to medium high and simmer for 5-6 min. to allow the flavors to infuse. Pick out slices of ginger. Blanch vegetables in the soup broth.
