So you’ve made 100 wontons, now what? Serve it up with dry noodle for that wantan-mee hawker stall vibe. This is really a “what’s available” kind of meal, so if you don’t have like-for-like ingredients, just substitute with the next available.
Before you begin
- If you haven’t already, you’ll need to have prepared a batch of pork and mushroom wontons. See the recipe here.
- This recipe calls for fresh egg noodles. You’re going to want to try and grab fresh wonton egg noodle if you can. There are so many egg noodles out there but the thin ones are the ones you want.
- I also like to eat 98% of my asian meals spicy so here I’ve called on a spicy sauce. If you’re not a fan of spice, simply omit.
Wontons with dry egg noodle recipe
This is really a "what's available" kind of meal, so if you don't have like-for-like ingredients, just substitute with the next available.
Ingredients
For the sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp x.o sauce (optional)
- 2 dashes sesame oil
- 1 birdseye chilli (optional)
For the noodles
- 1 serve prepared wontons
- 350 g fresh egg noodles
- 1 tbsp neutral flavoured oil
To serve
- asian greens
- fried shallots
- bean shoots
- spring onions (fine sliced)
- coriander
- cooked peeled prawns (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together your sauce ingredients. Stir and set aside.
- In a pot of boiling water, blanch your asian greens. The timing will depending on the greens you've chosen. Bok choy will require just a quick flash while broccolini will require about 1-2 minutes in water. Once ready, remove and put to the side.
- In the same pot of boiling water, add in 1 tbs of neutral flavoured oil. This will help prevent the wontons from sticking to each other. Pop the wontons into the boiling water and let them cook, stirring at the beginning to make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the pot. They are ready when they float and the wrapper as 'good flap'. Once ready, remove and put to the side.
- In the same pot of boiling water, add in your noodles. Prepare according to packet instructions. They should only require a flash and remove.
- Immediately serve. In a bowl, place bean shoots, your cooked egg noodles, top with the wontons, cooked peeled prawns and greens. Drizzle over spoonfuls of sauce to taste. Finish with fried shallots, spring onions and coriander.
