today we're going to show you how to
make wonton soup so here we have some
pork neck bones this is a pretty
inexpensive cut of pork and it makes
really great flavorful broth and what
you want to do is salt it liberally and
refrigerate overnight so it absorbs a
little bit of that flavor since we're
not searing or doing anything to it
before we put it into the pot to cook so
this does need to cook for about four to
six hours so prep in advance by the way
well worth your time so what I'm going
to do is I'm going to salt it a little
bit again and then I'm going to put it
in this nice pot here all of it and
you're going to cover with cold water
you don't want to use hot water since
you'll start cooking the meat of the
bones preemptively before everything has
risen to the same temperature so the
water should cover that the bones by
about two to four inches so it's got a
little room to reduce across the span of
four to six hours now I'm just going to
put in the ginger and scallions we're
just going to bring this up to a light
boil and then bring it down to a simmer
and let it go for about four to six
hours and we're going to come back to
this after we made some wontons and
together we'll put together a nice bowl
of wonton soup we've had the pork neck
bone broth going for about four hours
now and we're going to strain that in a
second here after we put in the wonton
it's the boil and so we can finish off
and have our soup so here are the
wontons they've been in the fridge I
covered them with a damp paper towel to
just keep them moist so we've got a pot
of boiling water we're just going to
gently set this in here so the method I
was always taught to boil the wontons
you put the wontons in the boiling water
and then let it come to a boil you're
going to put in a small bowl of cold
water let it come to a boil again
and then you're done so two boils the
wontons are done roughly that takes
about five to ten minutes in summation
so we're gonna let the wontons come back
up to a boil and in the meantime I'm
going to grab the pork neck bone soup
here you can see all nice and aromatic
just strain that since usually people
don't like too much bone in their soup
all right a quick tip the pork neck bone
that is now residing that pot over there
is also great as a snack while you're
perhaps waiting for your wonton so you
come to a boil which now has so I'm
going to pour the cold water in strain
this out even though they've cooked and
has extracted all that flavor into the
broth they're also just delicious the
meat is super nice and tender I love to
like nod them it's awesome so just ladle
this into a small bowl and when a wonton
is finish I'll finish up the bowl with a
little bit scallions and they're looking
good so I'm going to take these out and
plate them in our pork neck bone soup so
I'm just going to turn this off and
bring our pot of wontons over so you
don't want too many wontons overwhelming
your soup it's after all supposed to be
wontons and soup not just wontons just
going to just carefully slop those in
there and you're going to finish off
with some scallions on top sometimes I
also put a little bit of sesame oil it's
like nice and nutty but clean and simple
you can also just use scallions and that
is how you finish wonton soup
