This fulling Shrimp Wonton Soupwill warm you up on a cold day. And is just like something you would order from in your favorite chinese restaurant.
This recipe will serve four people for a dinner or 6 small appetizer bowls.
And can be adjusted to your personal taste.
WHAT IS SHRIMP WONTON SOUP
It is called shrimp wonton soup because even though it is a chicken broth stock it also has fresh whole shrimp cooked into that stock.
Along with chopped up shrimp to taste.
The whole shrimp and shells really help to add a depth of shrimp flavor to the broth. Once that process has been completed, you simply will want to de-shell and vein the shrimp.
Chop it all up into bite sized pieces so you can taste it throughout the soup.
Do note you have the ability to make changes within this recipe to suite your personal taste.
Examples:
You can use whole deveined shrimp if you prefer. (However keep in mind that those whole shrimp help give flavor to the chicken stock).
You can use pre-made stock of chicken and or seafood stock if you prefer.
You can use any type of mushroom. (I used dry shiitake mushrooms) soaked them for 30 minutes prior to chopping up and placing in the soup.
You can throw in other types of vegetables in too.
VEGETABLES THAT GO WELL INTO WONTON SOUP
Broccoli
Bok Choy
Green Onions
Snap peas
Water chestnuts
Anyone can make Wonton soup at home. And you can of course make those wontons’ from scratch if you desire: Here is a great recipe > How to wrap wontons
Or you can just use pre – made wontons or pot stickers (which is my prefered method) and then this soup really takes no time at all to prepare.
I like to use pork and vegetable pot stickers, however you can use whichever ones you prefer too.
The difference between this soup and what you will find in a chinese restaurant is probably the size of the wontons.
Being that I use pot stickers which are essentially the same as wontons just larger.
You get more bang for your buck in my option.
Also, I always have chicken bone broth stored in my freezer and that is what I used for this soup.
I encourage you to use a bone broth soup for this recipe as it will just taste more traditional. Than say a Campbell’s soup stock that comes from the cartoon.
Making real wonton soup from scratch takes time.
Average 2 – hours to make the wontons
Average 8 – hours to make the chicken or vegetable stock
Average 30 to bring it all together
My recipes saves you all that time, however be sure to have the stock and wontons ready in advance.
Then you can have a hot bowl served in 30 minutes or so. This recipe here can serve a family of 4 for dinner or 6 for appetizer type thing.
HOW TO CHICKEN BONE BROTH
You will simply want to save the caucus from a couple whole chickens and then cover those caucus with water.
You can add in chopped carrots, onions and garlic to the stock pot if desired or omit.
The you will want to season with 1 tsp of salt and cover the stock pot with a lid.
Simmering that stock from anywhere from 6- 8 hours on low heat.
Once the stock has been simmer, you can put it thru a steeve if desired or just skim off all the gunk from the top with a large ladle.
You can use that stock immediately or you can freeze it from another day.
You can also make this stock in your slow cooker or pressure cooker too!
HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP WONTON SOUP
Start by adding in your chicken bone broth to a large pot.
And bring to a simmer, adding in the large chopped onion and whole shrimp.
Simmer on medium – low for 10 minutes. Then remove the onions and shrimp and set aside.
Meanwhile add in the sesame oil, soya sauce, garlic and ginger, sake, lemon juice, seasonings and sliced carrots.
Simmer for 10 mins on low heat before adding in the pot stickers.
Immediately add in the celery and the chopped cooked shrimp.
Summer for 10 more minutes before lading into bowls.
Enjoy!
Want to spice up this soup? Try adding a little chili paste on the side!

These Air Fryer Asian Chicken Drumsticks are sweet and sticky and are cooked to perfection in the air fryer.
CAN YOU PUT FOIL IN THE AIR FRYER
Iv’e been asked this question many times and the answer is yes.
I use it often when cooking sticky foods as the clean up after is that much easier.
WHAT IS AIR FRYING
Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep frying food. And most air fryers have been marketed in a way to make you think that this cooking technique is best for those who make a lot of those at home.
Well I am here to tell you that you do not need to just be a deep fried food lover to want to use this cooking method. RATHER if you love to bake food, then this is also a great alternative. And in most cases is much healthier than traditional baking methods.
Because air frying mimics deep fried foods but uses little to no oil. And if your cooking something fatty, the fat will drip away and off the food.
So you can enjoy all the same deep – fried or baked foods that we have all come to know and love again but in a healthy way.
The air hot air is what cooks the food not the oil. If you have some frozen foods on hand, feel free to throw out any deep fryer you may have because the air fryer can now do the same job.
But it is not only frozen food that can be cooked this way, pretty much any food you can think of can.
If you like sweet and savory asian inspired chicken flavors, then you’re sure to want to add this recipe to your cookbook collection.
I’m super excited to share my first Air Fryer recipe with you all today. I have been on the fence for the past year about buying an air fryer.
Mainly because I do not eat a lot of deep fried foods and also because I could not fathom spending $200 plus for ONE. Air fryers promise that you can get that deep fried texture without all the grease.
So recently when I came across the Gotham air fryer, that does the exact same thing as an air fryer.
And knew that I had to try it! So I’m now starting a Air Fryer collection of recipes on this blog because I have fallen in love with this NEW kitchen tool.
CAN I USE ANY KIND OF AIR FRYER?
YES!
HOW TO COOK CHICKEN IN THE AIR FRYER?
If your using a Kitchen Top Air Fryer, follow your Air fryers cooking instructions for chicken drumsticks.
Then coat the Chicken in Olive Oil vs Cooking Oil = 3 tbsp per 6 legs is enough.
Marinated the chicken for 30 minutes before air frying.
Place the Chicken in or on the Air Fryer and allow it to do the Cooking.
NOTE: Each air fryer has different cooking instructions based on size and model. It is best to check with your units information in regards to cooking times and temps for chicken drumsticks
HOW TO COOK CHICKEN ON THE GOTHAM STEEL AIR FRYER?
If your using the Gotham Steel Crisper I would advise to turn your oven to Conventional bake, which will make the chicken extra crispy. Otherwise if your oven does not have that setting you can simply place the crisper on the middle rack, which works well too.
Follow the same instructions above.
If you have a table top Air Fryer all these recipes will work the same. Because Air Fryers all use the same type of cooking techniques.
IS AIR FRYER CHICKEN HEALTHY?
Yes, in comparison to other methods of cooking chicken it is. If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time. They are more affordable now than ever. Plus they are also a much healthier way to cook food, since the fat drains away and it is never deep fried.
Some people think that an Air Fryer is mostly for people who eat a lot of fried food. I admit I once was apart of that group, however I soon realised that if you like to bake foods too. Like I do, then the air fryer really cuts out a lot of the unnecessary fat.
Think of it, how do you typically bake chicken drumsticks or legs? If you are anything like me. You would place it on a pan in the oven and sometimes use a baking sheet to catch the grease. However with the air fryer it elevates the food and allows all that (FAT) to drip away.
Plus if you use the Gotham Air Fryer it is super simple to clean, I am talking hard sticky food at the bottom of the tray slides right off. No scrubbing at all is needed, it could not be more simpular guys.
Another reason I like the Gotham Air Fryer is because it cooks more food than the typical table top Air Fryers. Because it has a lot of space on that tray !
This one pan Chinese Eggs and Tomatoes are served for breakfast and dinner in most asian homes.
It is not only super simple to make it is also inexpensive and a healthy meal option. You can also find this popular dish on the menu at almost every chinese restaurants.
We have ordered it a few times, however once you learn to make it at home you can save yourself a lot of money.
Your sure to love this breakfast and probably will make it time and time again. Keep in mind you can make this more watery than I did, some restaurants will do that so you can enjoy it alongside a bowl of rice.
However if that is your plan, be sure to use a watery tomato such as beefsteak. Rather than the Roma that I have used in my recipe.
It is not only easy to make it’s also will give you the right amount of fuel to tackle the day. To prepare this dish you will simply want to start by dicing your tomatoes. Then breaking the eggs into a shallow dish to whisk into submission.
Once that is done you can heat the sesame oil up in a the pan or wok and stir fry the eggs, the bugger the egg pieces the better so do not break them up to much,
Next you will add in the tomatoes along with the salt and sugar and saute all together before serving.
Breakfast or Dinner, totally up to you!
Did you try this? I would love to hear about your favorite breakfast memories in the comments below. Till next time friends, see you in the kitchen 🙂

This Spicy Chicken Ramen Noodle recipe is also known as the popular takeout dish Chicken Chow Mein.
It is made with crispy broccoli, carrots along with melt in your mouth cabbage that you’re sure to love.
It’s so satisfying, you’ll be craving this the day you try it!
You probably would not know it, but making this dish is simple as can be.
It’s also fresh and can be all pulled together in less than 20 minutes!
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN RAMEN NOODLES
Start by cooking the noodles, to do that add them to a large pot of boiling water. Cook according to package instructions, with dry noodles it’s typically 5 minutes.
Meanwhile add all your sauce ingredients to a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
On a large chopping board, chop the broccoli into bite size pieces along with the cabbage.
On another cutting board dice the chicken breasts.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and marinade in the fridge for 15 minutes!
Once the noodles have cooked remove them from the water, strain and set aside.
Now is the time to make those noodles a bit crispy. Simply add 2 tbsp of sesame oil in a large frying pan along with the olive or cooking oil and saute those cooked noodles on each side till slightly crispy and browned to your liking.
Remove and plate.
In the same pan/pot/wok add the marinated chicken and stir fry till cooked, pour in the remaining marinade along with chopped ginger and garlic.
Saute for 2 minutes before adding in all the chopped vegetables, simmer on medium heat for roughly 5 minutes, tossing often until the vegetables are crispy yet tender.
Serve over the noodles hot and enjoy!
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN RAMEN SPICY
You can make this dish as spicy as you like by simply adding in more or less of the “red pepper chili paste”. Chili paste can be found in almost every ethnic isle in your local grocery.
It last a long time and is well worth picking up.
I have made this recipe medium spicy, so even the kids can enjoy this dish with you.
Sure you can head out to your favorite Chinese restaurant for something similar or you can learn to make it at home for a fraction of the cost.
Plus when you make this at home, you can ensure there is no msg added or any other ingredient that your not sure of.
Once you learn to make this simple chow mein dish, you will be making it more often Guaranteed!
It’s my go to Chicken Ramen /Chow mein dish, very very tasty!
I’m the type of lady that has to try every chow mein dish whenever we go to the chinese restaurants. I do this to compare really, just kidding.
Well kinda, I mean some restaurants do it right and others so wrong. Right? It’s not always easy to find a good chow mein these days.
But with my recipe it’s foolproof, if you follow it to a tea you will be in Chow Mein Heaven!
So please skip the takeout tonight and learn to make this iconic dish in the comfort of your own home.
Impress yourself, I know you can do it!
The brand I like to use can be seen below, it is very low in sodium!
The chicken and veggies are tossed together in the most delicious asian inspired sauce.
And the chow mein noodles are fried just a bit to give it the perfect amount of cripsyness.
I use a combination of olive oil and sesame oil to fry my noodles, however you can use regular cooking oil if desired.
That is what most restaurants use anyway, then a dash of sesame oil just for flavor.
The hardest part about making homemade chow mein is “chopping those vegetables”. Once you have that part done, the rest comes together in a snap.
Actually being that this is a Vegetarian dish, it can be pulled together in less than 30 minutes.
I have experimented with a few chow mein recipes over the years and promise you your going to love this one.
Chow Mein is one of my favorite asian dishes, I will order it everytime I go to my favorite asian restaurant and I will also order it when I try new asian restaurants.
Some restaurants make their chow mein better than others, typically it has allot to do with the type of ingredients that are added to the noodles.
If you liked this dish, then stay tuned to this blog as I will be sharing my all time favorite recipe for seafood chow mein very soon, which contains fresh calamari and shrimp.
