Hot and Sour Dumpling Soup
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- For the dumplings:
- 1 package of won ton wrappers you’ll only need half of them
- ½ pound cooked shrimp tails removed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon sriracha or more if you like it hot
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the soup:
- 1 cup dumpling water
- 3-4 cups Chinese hot & sour broth or seafood stock/broth, or even chicken broth is fine
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced thin
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- ⅛ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- soy sauce to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the dumpling ingredients in a food processor and pulse a couple of times until well combined.
- Place a small amount of the shrimp filling in the center of a won ton wrapper. Lightly wet the edges with a little water. Then fold up the edges and press together. Try to remove any air from inside the won ton as you fill them. This will make around 20-22 small dumplings.
- First cook the dumplings for 1-2 minutes in enough boiling salted water that they have enough room to float around and not stick together.
- Remove all the water except for one cup, add the broth and vegetables. Cook over medium heat just until everything is hot. Taste and add a little soy sauce if needed.
