My dream has always been to be rich enough to make a ton of wonton soup and call it the ‘one-ton special’

[@normandchampigny520]

Just made it this evening. I am a VERY particular cook and give this 5+ stars. My family raved about it ! Just follow his steps.....searing the ginger and Chinese onions were key along with the oyster sauce. BUT, I believe the fried shallots gave it that unique essence we find at high end Chinese restaurants. Simply, make and enjoy !

[@SchoolofWok]

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it! Check out some more of our recipes if you liked this one! - Lee

Don't tell my husband I put fish and/or oyster sauce in his food. Tonight is feeding 2 rescued baby birds, feeding 7 cats and 3 dogs canned food (shame) and probably take out from our local Asian restaurant. Vegetable mushu for me (it's so good!) and some combo for him.

Probably a silly question but the cooking of the pork would take place in the soup yeah ? :)

Yes, Dylan. Because there's only a small amount of meat in each dumpling, it cooks relatively quickly in the soup! - Lee

Could you please do a bourbon street chicken. Would love to watch that.

I realize this is an older video but wondering whether the wontons can be frozen? We often make a soup and it would be great to just add a few of these from the freezer? Thanks, loving the videos!!!

[@songofyesterday]

I've seen wonton at Chinese restaurants and if you put it in the fridge the thing gelatin. I think they made their own chicken stock for more umami. I'm going to try this recipe of yours this weekend.

[@keitth58]

In the soup prep is it a pinch of salt or pince of sugar(as in the recipe).? Also do you put the ginger and spring onion in the dry pot?

[@SchoolofWok]

It's a pinch of salt, and the spring onion and ginger go into the pot with a little bit of vegetable oil! - Lee

[@cyrillewar9425]

Mr Lee..what can I substitute the prawn with in both cases?

[@SchoolofWok]

You can just use twice the amount of pork I suppose! - Lee

[@gazaniaflower3695]

I made this soup on raining cold days. I will make your version next time. Amazing how you smashed the shrimps flat like that. I'm guessing strong hands? I need to lift more weight then try again. Thank you!

Could you please do a chicken n mushroom soup and chicken and sweet corn please. I'm obsessed.

[@SchoolofWok]

I'll add it to our suggestions list! - Lee

[@brianrollins3245]

Nicely done however I am now conflicted. - should I cook wonton in soup or in separate water? Wonton wrapper flour will make soup cloudy but improve flavour of wonton..Won’t cooking wonton separately have brighter flavours and improved appearance?

[@nikserof2183]

Exactly! I was shocked to see the wontons cooked in the soup - how absolutely gross.

[@elizabethhallowell5115]

Wontons will have more flavor if cooked in the broth - if so gross to you, boil in water for a minute then add to broth

Between chicken and beef, which one is a better substitute for pork?

On the recipe it says 200ml stock, but is that right??...

[@Shirley15588]

Please, make a vegetarian version of this soup! I'm so fan of your recipes, but I'm vegetarian! I'll be checking the channel waiting for that recipe!

[@SchoolofWok]

Hi Shirley, you can use any vegetarian dumpling filling recipe for the wontons and replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock for a vegetarian version of this dish!

[@elizabethhallowell5115]

Use more mushroom & vegetables - omit meats .. the veggies will be delicious

[@gregwarren1094]

Hey guys. I made this about a month ago but tried to multiply the recipe to feed 4 people. As a result the oyster sauce flavor was too strong. Any suggestions?

[@elizabethhallowell5115]

Don’t multiply the oil & oyster sauce in the broth … taste it & add a bit if necessary . But quadruple all of the wonton ingredients .. & vegetables in broth

[@gregwarren1094]

@@elizabethhallowell5115 since I posted that reply 2 years ago I had opportunities to tweak it and I got it exactly the way I want it. But yes, I absolutely agree multiply the wonton and vegetable ingredients

[@RD-jp4zs]

You serve that in a Chinese restaurant and that restaurant will go out of business. :)

[@sherekhan90]

I get very confused about the sauces that flavour this soup. Some people use oyster sauce, others use fish sauce or soya sauce. So which one is the best? Alternatively can you mix these together? Help!

Never seen oyster sauce in a soup base for these things...how odd. Not traditional?

[@elizabethhallowell5115]

Thank you

[@maureenperez9999]

Please, Jeremy... tell me a good alternative for fish and oyster sauce? I don't like those, so can I add extra Hoisin sauce instead? I had a bad experience at a Chinese restaurant where the cook went crazy with it in a Broccoli Beef recipe and it tasted super fishy! I ordered an alternative on Amazon called Yondu Umami Seasoning Sauce which claims it is better than those fishy sauces. I just won't use them. Please help? I want to make your recipes and so many call for fishy sauce. Have you reviewed Yondu? If not... I'd love if you would? thx

[@SchoolofWok]

Soy sauce can be used to replace fish sauce, and you can get vegetarian oyster sauce which is made from mushrooms instead of oysters - Lee

[@maureenperez9999]

@@SchoolofWok thank you. It would be helpful if you could take a moment to review it on your site. It's available at Amazon and inexpensive. I am sure vegans as well "fish no likers" would appreciate your thoughts on it. You could use it as a tool to explain UMAMI and why those fish and oyster sauces are necessary as an overview on Chinese Condiments. That would be a great video! Non-Chinese cooks like me could use that information to insure success with your recipes. We don't understand many of the condiments that pop up in Chinese cooking videos so understanding what they are and what they do would be helpful. There are so many with Chinese labels so other than the name of the condiment... I don't know what is in them? I had never heard of Red Bean Curd in your Char Siu recipe until now. It was also hard to find but I did finally find it. Thank you Lee, for your wonderful videos.

[@tienpham-pc3lb]

:) He talked and acted like Gordon Ramsey

[@wingyu99]

Can't call it Wonton w/o Grounded Dried Flatfish. Soup stock must have chicken feet, pork bones, and shrimp shells then finished with Shrimp Eggs and Lard.

[@SchoolofWok]

Why not? - Lee

[@wingyu99]

I truly believe you can do better and authentic cooking. You do have the skills and culture background to fashion true Chinese dishes@@SchoolofWok

[@tommocymraeg]

Pretty sure this recipe was aiming for accessibility. Authenticity may be one of the best but sometimes people can't be bothered to get some of these types of ingredients.

[@elizabethhallowell5115]

Then you add whatever for your stock ~ restaurants around me just use quick broth - & add the bottled sauces .. how I wish Chinese restaurants in a Hooterville would create true rich broth .. I have chicken feet in my freezer for my next batch !!! Always make real broth .. but never had the dried flat dish . The chef was sharing a quicker flavorful broth for many who just need a quicker tasty broth

Why did you put prawn in, then add 50/50 prawn & pork? WTF

[@care4u557]

Why don’t u add salt to the food u cook

[@SchoolofWok]

Soy sauce gives it a salty flavour profile! - Lee

[@iamgort70]

In almost all Asian cooking the salt is added via the sauces. for example Fish sauce in Thai food is basically adding salt, Oyster sauce and other also add a salt taste to marinades and bases. Its also a reason a lot of chefs use 'light' soy as opposed to a full soy as the light soy is salt reduced...Asian cooking has more than enough salt going around trust me. :)

[@masonyu5794]

I noticed - light soy sauce, sugar and sesame seed oil; here is a different spin, light soy sauce, a tablespoon of honey and Japanese black sesame seed oil

[@SchoolofWok]

Honey is a good substitute for the sugar if you want it to be a bit more healthier - Lee
