VEGETARIAN WONTON SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making the Vegetable Wonton Soup, first get the momos ready. Do not steam them, as we will be cooking it in the soup base. Keep the filled.
• Keep the filled non-steamed momos covered with a damp muslin cloth until we make the soup broth.
• To begin making the soup broth, heat the sesame oil in a wide saucepan. Add the onions, ginger, garlic and green chillies and saute for a few seconds.
• Next add in 3 cups of water, salt, vinegar, soy sauce. Give the broth a simmer for about 10 minutes so all the flavours from the ginger, garlic and onions get into the soup broth. Give the soup broth a taste and check for salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste.
• Once the soup broth has simmered for about 10 minutes, we will add the non-steamed wontons/momos to the broth. Gradually add all of them and increase the heat of the soup. Bring the soup to a boil and allow the wontons to cook in the broth for about 5 minutes. You will notice the wontons come floating to the top.
• At this stage turn off the heat. Spoon the Vegetarian Wonton Soup in a bowl and serve it with Cantonese Style Vegetarian Chowmein for a filling weeknight dinner.
