      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Wonton mixture
  1. Lightly grease Varoma dish and tray with oil and set aside.

  2. Thinly slice 4 of the shiitake mushrooms and set aside in a small bowl.

  3. Place remaining 4 shiitake mushrooms, ginger, garlic, shallots/spring onions and coriander into mixing bowl and chop 4 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.

  4. Add chicken and mince 10 sec/speed 6. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.

  5. Add soy, sesame oil, egg white and salt and mix 4 sec/speed 4. Transfer onto a plate and set aside. Clean and dry mixing bowl.

  6. Lay wonton wrappers onto a clean, dry work surface. Place 2 tsp of the reserved chicken mixture into the centre of a wonton wrapper and brush all edges with water. Fold wonton wrapper in half diagonally to enclose filling, forming a triangle shape, then using your fingertips, seal all edges to eliminate any air pockets. Gently pull 2 remaining corners together (over enclosed filling) and press together to seal.

  7. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and chicken mixture. Place wontons in a single layer in Varoma dish and tray, ensuring they do not overlap. Set Varoma aside.

  8. Chicken broth
  9. Insert simmering basket. Place chicken drumsticks, ginger, shallots/spring onions, coriander, star anise, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine or Chinese rice wine, raw sugar into simmering basket. Pour stock over contents of simmering basket into mixing bowl and cook 45-50 min/90°C/Counter-clockwise operation/speed 1, until chicken is cooked through. Remove simmering basket. Set chicken drumsticks aside and discard remaining contents of simmering basket.

  10. Allow chicken to cool slightly, then shred chicken meat from the bone. Divide meat between 4 serving bowls. Discard bones.

  11. Place Varoma with wontons into position and steam 9 min/Varoma/speed 1.

  12. Add baby corn, bok choy and reserved sliced shiitake mushrooms into Varoma dish and tray, ensuring steam can circulate through Varoma tray and steam 8 min/Varoma/speed 1, or until wontons are cooked through.

  13. Divide vegetables and wontons between serving bowls, then pour over 1-1½ cups hot chicken broth into each bowl. Garnish with bean sprouts, extra shallots/spring onions and reserved coriander leaves, then serve with Sriracha and lime quarters.

Tip

  • Instead of using liquid chicken stock, you can use Chicken stock paste (refer to the recipe in The Basic Cookbook or Everyday Cooking). Stir 3 tbsp Chicken stock paste through 1500 g water, then use as instructed in step 8.
  • You can freeze leftover wonton wrappers and chicken broth to use in future recipes.
  • This recipe is also suitable for TM31

    Submitted by Kathleen Willmott on 17. June 2020 - 15:47.

    This is my favourite wonton soup recipe. I can't count how many times I have made it. First time with shittake mushrooms today and the flavour is similar enough to omit them next time. I use normal corn instead of baby and I don't like using my chicken stock paste with it, it gives the soup a really gritty texture, I had to sieve it.
    Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!

    This was delicious! It was time-consuming, but it was my first time making wontons, so I would imagine it would take less time the more you make it. I did buy 4 bok choys, like the receipe called for, but could only really fit two in the varoma (along with the other veggies). I did watch the video of Justine making it and it did appear she didn't have four bok choys cut up, unless they come in hugely different sizes and the ones I bought were extra large. Overall though, it was very authentic-tasting and all of my family (including two primary school aged sons) absolutely loved it Lol

    Submitted by Megsy13 on 28. August 2017 - 11:40.

    Made this last night, and overall I loved the flavours, but just a few questions / observations;

    * In the video, Justine doesn't add the sesame, soy or egg white to the dumpling mix. I added the soy and sesame oil, but didn't worrry about the egg white. Can anyone tell me what it does?

    * My dumplings stuck together, and and couldn't be separated, so quite a few tore apart. Does anyone have any tips for avoiding this?

    * I used Skinnymixers chicken stock, and the resulting broth was definitely cloudier than using commercial stock, but it was so yummy, I didn't care. Would probably lower the soy to around 40g next time though.

    Kids didn't love the flavours, but that just means more for hubby and I next time I tackle it Wink

    A-m-a-z-i-n-g, I have made several dumpling soup recipes and by far this is the best.

    I added a carrot and 2 celery sticks (which I juliened) and popped in with the stock.

    After only having my Thermo a week this was one of the first recipes I tried. I admit I used the youtube clip simultaneously which helped me immensely. My kids are dumpling crazy so this was a huge hit. 

    I like another reviewers idea of adding vermicilli noodles.. Would definitly fill my hubby up more. Fantastic recipe and definitely making me love my Thermo more and more. Thanks so much! tmrc_emoticons.)

    As a wonton soup lover I enjoyed this. Can't say the kids did, ginger flavour too strong, even when used a little less than the recipe said. 

    Might try again with some modifications.

  • Don't be afraid to try this!

    Submitted by Erana on 16. July 2015 - 14:52.

    Don't be afraid to try this!  I'd never had a go at assembling wontons before but a quick look on google showed lots of images and videos on how to do it.  It didn't take long to get the hang of it.

    Few others mentioned that the broth is a bit salty and I agree, go easy on the soy sauce.  And we were able to get 3 drums in which I think was better as it meant more chicken meat for the broth.

    We used chicken and pork mince for the meat mixture and it worked no problems, though will use less ginger next time as it was a little overpowering.  I doubled it and got 50 wontons out of it (2 packs of wrappers).  And there's also enough for another 50 which has gone into the freezer for next time.  We steamed half and deep fried half so that everyone in the family was kept happy.

    Hubby said he'd happily sell an organ to get more of this soup.  Delicious!

    This was so delicious tmrc_emoticons.) I am heavy handed with my teaspoons so will make sure I put less meat in the wontons to keep that 'light' feeling. I also forgot the lime at the end, which would have helped cut through the soy lol ... There were no complaints from the family though at all!

  • ** Gluten and Egg Free

    Submitted by Hill007TMX on 13. July 2015 - 09:58.

    ** Gluten and Egg Free Comment **

    It WAS delicious but yes it took ages! 

    As im Gluten Free and Egg free. I omitted the egg white and wrapped those suckers in rice paper rolls (just to see if they would work - I had no time to make my own Gluten and egg free Wontons).

    In the end i would say (to save ppl a whole lot of time) add grease proof paper in varoma tray.. then spoonfuls of the mixture without wontons or ricepaper and let them steam) then add them! 

    Ricepaper was a fail. blobs of rubbery mess.. They were useable though: I just unwrapped them easily and added them to the soup.

    Also added and ate the veges that were steaming to the bowl to give the broth flavour -less the ginger and star anise!

I think the chicken got too pulverised, so maybe cut time down, or use chicken mince instead. But the broth was fantastic, overall a beautiful meal. Will definitely make this again.

    Made this tonight and what a hit! My 3 kids (aged 6, 7 & 9) who made the dumplings, all wanted seconds. I doubled the mince filling and froze half of it for another meal. Next time I will experiment and use variations of pork, prawn and chicken for the dumplings which I'm sure will be just as yummy. There was so much soup left over we will have it tomorrow with some steamed (and then shredded) chicken. A lot of steps but definitely worth the effort.
