Quick Spicy Wonton Soup

I am using store-bought frozen wontons for this recipe; although they are not as good as homemade ones, the BBQ spice enhances the taste and makes the soup super aromatic and flavors. It is so delicious that I would not waste a drop of that broth.

Quick Spicy Wonton Soup

Ingredients

  • 10 frozen wonton
  • 1.5 tbsp of Chinese BBQ spice

  • 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic
  • 1.5 tbsp of diced scallion
  • 1.5 tbsp of diced cilantro
  • 2 tbsp of cooking oil
  • 1/2 tbsp of Chinese black vinegar
  • 350g / 1.5 cups of wonton boiling water

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Use your utensil to swirl the water to create a vortex. Then add the wontons. This way, they will flow with the water instead of sinking to the bottom directly. Otherwise, they will stick to the bottom and lose some skin.

  2. Turn the heat to low and simmer the wonton for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, add 1.5 tbsp of BBQ spice, 1.5 tsp of minced garlic, 1.5 tbsp of diced scallion, and 1.5 tbsp of diced cilantro to a heat-proof bowl. Heat 2 tbsp of oil to smoking hot and pour it onto the aromatics. Last, drizzle in 1/2 tbsp of Chinese black vinegar to balance the taste. If you don’t have it, use apple cider or balsamic vinegar.
  4. Add the wontons into the bowl, pour in 1.5 cups of the boiling broth, and mix well.
