I bought the Hairy Bikers Asian Adventure Cookery book and decided to have a go.
I love Wonton Soup so I went to the Chinese and Thai supermarket and got all the bits
I hadn't got in the cupboard :lol:
It tasted really good.
I have made it before so I used my recipe plus theirs and it was better than ever :D

Lissie, that looks soooo good.

Is it a spicy one, and what is the wonton filling, please?

There was minced pork with seasoning in the wontons WM :D
The soup I made from Knorr chicken stock cubes, Thai fish sauce, Sweet Soy sauce and Oyster sauce.
I added spring onions, garlic, pak choi and udon noodles.

It turned out that I had no wraps, so made my own using the following recipe:

250 g flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
water as required.

Bring the flour, egg and salt together with a bit of water and knead to form a ball, then leave to rest for 30 mins to an hour.

Halve the ball, then halve each one again - keep the ones you are not working covered with a damp cloth. I put two of the balls in the freezer for later use as I got 16 rounds/wraps out the ones I used. They need to be rolled out as thin as possible - I used the pasta maker then a pastry cutter to get the rounds.

Wonton filling was minced chicken, chili and garlic with a hint of hoisin sauce. Soup base was as per Lissie's, but with spring onions, mange tout, lemon grass and Chinese leaf, all with a hint of Tobasco sauce.

Simple, healthy and filling. I will be doing this again. :D :D :D
