1. Blanche the pork bones in hot water for about 8 minutes and wash the bones afterwards.
2. Peel the shrimp. Set aside shells.
3. 5 oz of dried shrimp.
4. Brown 4 pieces of dried Flounder on a flame to bring out the natural oil of the fish. You can also bake the fish at 350F for 15 minutes. You will use 2 of these pieces in the soup. Throw away the heads, they will not be used. Also lightly scrape off any burned spots you see (it doesn't need to be perfect). The other 2 pieces will be grinded into a powder later.
5. Bring 3.17 Quarts of water to a boil then turn it down to low. Drop in the bones, dried shrimp, and fish. DO NOT PUT THE SHRIMP HEADS AND SHELLS IN YET! Cover and cook this for about 1.5 hours or until the fish meat is starting to separate, on very low simmer.
6. Cook the shrimp shells until they burn bright red. After 1.5 hours, dump the shells into the soup and continue to cook for another 1.5-2 hours.
7. For wonton fillings, the ratio shrimp to pork is 60/40. For the pork, you want 50% fat and 50% lean meat. Just find any cut of meat that resembles this ratio. If you change this ratio, the taste and texture of wonton completely changes. Alternatively, you can use pork belly (no skin) and mince the meat yourself to get this mixture. [Some people also use 60/40 or even 70/30 for the pork, that is fine too].
8. Dry your shrimp. If you have big shrimp like mine, cut them into smaller pieces. Skip this step if you have small shrimp.
9. Grind remaining Flounder into a fine powder. Don't forget to throw away the head!
10. Take a small handful of dried shrimp and grind into flakes. You don't need to make a fine powder with this one. You just want fluffy flakes.
11. Mix shrimp and pork together.
12. Add 1 teaspoon of fish powder, 2 teaspoons of shrimp flakes, 1 egg, 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix together evenly.
13. Take your entire ball of meat, pick it up and slam it downwards into your bowl 20-30 times. Your meat will turn into a thick paste.
14. You wonton wrappers should be thin 3 inch squares. Look for the Cantonese/Hong Kong variety. They are usually yellow in color.
15. Place a teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Push the bottom corner up, then the two sides. Squeeze the top to seal the wonton. If you made the filling correctly, the stickiness of the filling keeps the wonton together without using water or egg white wash like some people do.
16. Filter soup with a fine mesh/cloth filter. Skim the scum off the top of the soup with a ladle. You can do it a few times if you want. Throw away all the shells, etc. that you filtered out. You can also eat them if you like.
17. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the soup and 0.9 oz piece of rock sugar. This is necessary to balance the flavors of the soup. If you don't have rock sugar, regular sugar is an acceptable substitute.
18. Bring the soup back to a boil.
19. Cut yellow chives into 1 inch pieces. You need about a small bunch for each serving.
20. In a large bowl, pour 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce, then yellow chives.
21. Boil water in 2 separate pots. One pot will be for cooking the wonton and the other is for noodle.
22. Cook the wonton for about 1-2 minutes until you see them float. Place cooked wonton on top of the chives.
23. Cook noodle for only 10-15 seconds! Rinse the noodle thoroughly in water. If you don't, the alkaline residue will ruin your experience. Then quickly dip the noodle in another pot of hot water or the hot soup to warm up the noodle before serving.
24. Fold your wonton noodle on top of the wontons. This order of placement is important because you don't want the noodle to be soggy and want to maintain its al dente texture.
25. Serve with the hot soup and you're done! You can freeze your extra wontons. - Навчання та стиль
Note: If you freeze your extra wonton, lay down a piece of parchment paper first to keep the wonton from sticking to the bottom of your tray. Once your wonton is pretty much frozen, you can store them in a bag the save space!
There’s a family of elderly couple and their son selling wonton noodles in local fresh market. I love their dry wonton noodle served with 3 pieces of wonton in soup and soup version. Theirs definitely different from other sellers as I detected prawn/shrimp flavour… your recipe confirmed my taste 😊 Btw, they are Cantonese…
Thanks for sharing the secret! I've never seen this before and appreciate one of my favorite dishes even more.
This is a lot of work but I can imagine the wonderful fantastic taste. Thanks for the detailed how-to.
It really is a lot of work! I wanted to really share this without holding back any secrets so that more people can appreciate the work that goes into this deceivingly simple noodle!
We tried the wontons today! This is the most authentic recipe on UA-cam! 🤩 Hubby is from HK and he said they are better than most of the restaurants. We toasted the dried flounders on the air-fryer over 300F for about 7 mins, flipping half way through. We recommend using less rock sugar on the broth. Thank you for posting this video. 🤗
This made my night! Thank you for taking the time to tell me about your experience!
Looks amazing!
Wow this seems like the true family recipe passed down from master to apprentice. Very detailed.
Glad you found it helpful!
Excellent video, thank you!
Delighted to hear!
Love your channel , all traditional Cantonese cooking
Glad you like them!
Thank youn🎉❤love from Adelaide south Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Very high level wonton noodles. Fantastic recipe!
Thanks for the support!
Will definitely try!
Awesome!
Wonderful! Thanks for the video! Subbed.
Awesome! I appreciate that!
I know I’m very late here, but I have made your wonton noodle soup as close to your recipe as I could and it was delicious. I was able to find the dried fish, dried shrimp, the thinnest wonton wrappers I have ever seen, and the alkaline noodles at my local H-Mart, thankfully. Your tip about baking the dried fish in the oven was super helpful because most recipes just tell you to grill it over your gas flame, but I don’t have a gas stove.
I’m not going to lie, this is an involved and lengthy recipe to make, so I probably won’t do it all that often. It’s much easier to get a soul-warming bowl from my local dim sum spot, but I’m really glad I was able to recreate it myself. Thanks again for a really great and detailed explanation.
if you have an air fryer better
Thanks a lot bro.
Anytime!
great video!
Thanks!
You miss the most important ingrediant of making the canto wanton noodle is the 蝦子,that the soul for the enitre dish. But overall good presentation
Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to make a side note on this, as I was not able to get this ingredient for many months!
What is the important ingredient that you missed out? I for sure will try your recipe as soon as I cả find the dried flounder. Thank you! I definitely follow you.
I’m gonna save this one, will report back once I get around to try it.
Awesome!
If you put some grinding sesame to absorb the moisture of Wantan filling❤
Impressive. I feel like I learned a lot just watching. I can't wait to try this! By the way, Laughing Shrimp, I see that you made replies below, but I cannot see them...not sure why.
I can confirm that comments do show up on my other devices. If you have further questions about the recipe, feel free to reach out and I'll help you out!
@@laughingshrimp1843 Now I can see them...my computer must have been tired!
Thank you for the video. Unfortunately, dried flounder is very hard to come by where I am, but if I find it, I'll certainly give this a try.
Question, though - you mentioned that you should put four pieces of flounder in the soup. What if I can only get dried flounder powder? How much powder should I put in?
So I grounded up the flounder myself and measured about 130g total for 4 pieces (not counting the fish head). Please note that you are only putting in 2 pieces in the soup, so that's about 65g of powder. If you store the powder under the right conditions, it lasts forever. I keep a jar of it myself for making a quick soup!
That broth will be so tasty!
Yum!
Where do you get fish in a package like that? I've been looking but no luck.
Chinese Grocery. Maybe online also. Google it.
