Making wontons – 45 minutes

Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes until soft.

Meanwhile, peel the garlic and ginger. Roughly chop them and add to a food processor.

Peel the carrots, cut off the ends and roughly chop the carrots. Chop one spring onion roughly (the other two will be used for the broth).

Add the carrots, softened mushrooms and chopped spring onion to the food processor and blend until fine. Add the minced meat, soy sauce and oyster sauce and mix everything well. Season the filling with white pepper and salt.

Add a small spoonful of the filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper and wet the edges with a little water.

Fold the wrapper in half and press firmly.

Lastly fold the corners over each other and press again.

Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling. Set the finished wontons aside while you make the soup.

Making Chinese wonton soup – 15 minutes

Heat beef broth with 2 star anise over medium heat. Let it simmer gently for 15 minutes so the flavor can develop.

In the meantime, wash the pak choi and cut into four equal parts. Make sure they don't fall apart. Cook the pak choi in the broth until just tender.

Don’t add too many wontons at once. Cook them in batches in the broth for about 5 minutes.

Remove the star anise. Divide the wontons, pak choi and broth between bowls. Finish with sliced spring onion and a dash of sesame oil. Enjoy!

Tips!

Which minced meat is best for wontons?

You can use either beef mince or a mix of pork and beef mince for the wonton filling.

How long can you store wontons?

It’s best to store homemade wontons uncooked. Wrap them well in plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. You can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze them tightly wrapped, they’ll keep for up to 3 months.
