Chicken Wonton Soup With Shrimp
- 10 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 large breast half or 1 small whole breast)
- 7 ounces large shrimp, cooked or raw (I chose to use smaller shrimp as 3/4 of them get processed anyway)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 (16 ounce) packet wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch paste (water and cornstarch)
- 3 34 cups chicken broth (or two 15 oz. cans commercial product)
- 14 cup cucumber, peeled and diced
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 scallion, cut into thin strips, for garnish
- 4 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 1 tomatoes, scalded, peeled, seeded and diced for garnish
- Place the chicken breast, 3/4 of the shrimp, the ginger and scallions in a food processor and process for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, oyster sauce (if using), and seasoning and process briefly.
- Set aside.
- Place 8 wonton wrappers at a time on a surface in diamond fashion with a point towards you; moisten two adjoining edges with the cornstarch paste and place a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of the chicken/shrimp mixture in the center of each.
- Fold the dry edges over and pinch to seal.
- Simmer in salted boiling water for 4 minutes.
- Continue stuffing wrappers until chicken/shrimp mixture is gone.
- At this point, the wontons can be stored in the fridge overnight after they cool).
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil, add the remaining whole shrimp and the cucumber and simmer for 3-4 minutes to warm through.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Add wontons to warm through.
- Serve hot in bowls and garnish with scallion, cilantro and diced tomatoes.
