A warm and comforting bowl of wonton noodle soup filled with tender wontons, bouncy egg noodles, and silky mushrooms in a savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 30–35 wonton wrappers
  • 8 oz ground pork, chicken, shrimp, or firm tofu (crumbled)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium if you like)
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 small egg (optional)
  • Pinch white pepper or black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium)
  • 6–8 oz mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or mixed), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, sliced
  • 8 oz thin egg noodles (Hong Kong–style) or wheat noodles
  • 2–3 cups tender greens (baby bok choy, spinach, or napa cabbage)
  • 1–2 tbsp soy sauce, to taste
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • Chili oil or sliced chili (optional, for heat)
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix ground pork (or chosen protein), green onion, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, pepper, and egg if using.
  2. Fill the wontons: Place 1 tsp filling in the center of a wrapper. Wet the edges, fold into a triangle, press to seal, and tuck the corners together.
  3. Start the broth: In a large pot, warm a splash of oil. Add garlic and sliced ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Cook the noodles: In a separate pot, boil noodles per package until just tender. Drain and rinse quickly under hot water. Set aside.
  5. Cook the wontons: Lower the broth to a steady simmer. Add wontons in batches. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until they float and filling is cooked through.
  6. Add mushrooms and greens: Stir in sliced mushrooms and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add greens and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted.
  7. Season and serve: Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Divide noodles into bowls, ladle soup and wontons over the top, and finish with green onions and chili oil if desired.

Notes

Make the wontons ahead and freeze them for a quick meal later. Store broth, noodles, and wontons in separate containers for optimal freshness.
