Kittencal's Asian Pork Wonton Soup Dumplings

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Since everyone has their own favorite recipe for wonton soup I am only posting the dumpling recipe but don't just use these for wonton soup these can be cooked in any flavored broth that you wish, or the cooked dumplings may be served on the side with gravy from a stew just make certain that you cook them first in boiling water --- I usually get about 35-40 dumplings, use as many as desired and freeze the rest to use another time, just drop from the frozen state into simmering broth --- I make mine in "nurse's hat" shapes you may make them into whatever shape you like, I also like to add in some cayenne pepper for heat ---these are just as good if not better than any Asian restaurant, they are very easy to make, very addicting and you will be making them all the time!"

I have never made these, as they intimidated me! Hey, I'm not perfect, I'll admit it! But they were so easy! I forgot to count, but it made a lot! As susggested, I froze some. I added some water chestnuts, almost minced, to the ingredients just for that crunch. I made a simple chicken broth with the green onions,five-spice powder, soy sauce, and I added some slices of fennel which greatly kicked up the broth. These are fabulous! Made for Chef's Pick at KK.

These were AWESOME! I made the entire batch and, rather than make soup, deep fried a dozen. Then I spread the rest on a cookie sheet and froze them until firm and packed them in batches of a dozen in bags. They're great to whip out and deep fry for a quick and easy nosh, rather than in a soup. No thawing required. Thanks!

These were FANTASTIC and I could only let them sit for an hour or so to marinate. Delicious and better tasting than take out! I followed the recipe exactly and the seasoning was perfect. This made an entire package of wrappers for me.Thanks for posting....

FANTASTIC recipe! This MADE MY DAY for me! Used combo pork/veal mince, TRUE! Added chopped bok choy to seap in at the end too! DEFINATELY witches hats is the way to go! "VERY addicting" like the posting chef said too! Thanks!

I didn't want to give this 5 stars but decided to because they don't go up to 10!!!! This was really terrific and I am on my second bowl. I used fresh ginger and regular soy sauce and the wontons are fabulous. I used about 2 teaspoons in each one and made 35. Also, I used Knorr wonton broth (not too much - it's fishy) and chicken broth to cook them in and even though they are bigger, they were cooked perfectly after 7 minutes. Thanks yet again for another great recipe!
