Warm, comforting, and full of flavour, this Egg Drop Wonton Soup is a perfect blend of two classic dishes. 

Silky ribbons of egg swirl through a fragrant broth, loaded with delicate prawn & chive wontons. Ginger, mushrooms, and green onions infuse the soup with a fresh, aromatic punch, while soy sauce and sesame oil add that perfect umami richness. It’s the ultimate quick and easy comfort meal for any time of day.

  1. Soak mushrooms in cold water for 10 minutes until rehydrated. Drain well.
  2. Place the stock, water, sesame oil, soy, and ginger in a large pot. Bring to a gentle boil. Add the pak choy or bok choy. Submerge under hot stock and cook for 2 minutes. Remove using tongs and set aside in a bowl covered to keep warm.
  3. Add rehydrated mushrooms, frozen wontons and spring onions to soup. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the wontons are tender.  
  4. On a low heat without simmering, drizzle eggs in a circular motion over the soup, they will cook and set instantly into thick ribbons. Quickly stir to break up the ribbons.
  5. Divide Asian greens between bowls. Ladle soup and dumplings over the top. Garnish with extra shredded green onions. Drizzle with chilli oil, if using. Serve with extra soy and sesame oil to taste. 

Notes

  • You can also buy different condiments in Chinese grocery stores such as chilli oils with peanuts or tofu. You can use chilli garlic sauce instead of chilli oil.
  • Condiments along with dried mushrooms are available in supermarkets. You can use fresh sliced shiitake if preferred.
