How I make it

Wontons

  1. Knead the dough ingredients into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 30 minutes.

  2. Mix the filling ingredients.

  3. Roll the dough out thin on a floured surface and cut into 12 equal squares.

  4. Turn each square so one corner points toward you and place a teaspoon of filling in the center.

  5. Fold the near corner over the filling, then fold again toward the opposite corner, stopping short so that corner stays visible.

  6. Bring the two side corners back and pinch them firmly together.

  7. Cook the wontons in salted water for a few minutes and drain.

Soup

  1. Bring the broth to a boil in a pot and season with salt, pepper and soy sauce.

  2. Add the carrots, mushrooms and bean sprouts and cook for 1 minute.

  3. Add the wontons and cook 1 minute more. Garnish with scallions and a little sesame oil and serve.
