Directions
Watercress Shrimp Wonton Soup is very popular dish in Southern Chinese cities. Last time I went swimming at YMCA, at the locker room, I overheard one lady told the other lady how to make watercress shrimp wonton soup. She said she couldn’t eat the wonton soup from outside, because her wonton soup taste is far better than the ones selling from outside. Her recipe sounded very interesting, I couldn’t wait to make it myself. Today finally I get the chance to make and enhance her recipe.
I used Chicken soup as the base, added shredded Chicken and cooked clear noodle in the soup as well. If you don’t have Chicken soup, you can use water base as well, just put in a little bit soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, dried seaweeds and pickled vegetable.
Tips:
I bought the wonton wrap from Chinese supermarket
Folding wonton is very easy and simple steps, you can check on YouTube how to fold wonton, I will create a tutorial in the future on how to fold wonton.
