Wonton soup is my favorite early dinner snacks in my childhood. Once in a while, I buy a large amount of ground meat, and make a lot of dumplings and freeze it. That way, I can have 10 minute dumpling meal any day for the rest of a month. It may take some work to make handmade dumplings, but it is totally worth it.
When I want to eat lots of vegetables, I add chopped cabbage, nappa, spinach, shredded daikon, or bok choy along with wontons. It is like hot pot style! This spicy soup is great for vegetables too.
To wrap a wonton, put a spoonfull of wonton filling on the center of the wonton wrapper, wet the sides of the wrapper with your finger. Fold the wrapper in triangle as letting air out. Take both of bottom corners of triangle and seal together. You can cook those right away or freeze for later use.
To make a spicy chicken soup. In a pot, heat sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. When garlic and ginger releases, add chili bean sauce and saute.
Add chicken stock. Just before it comes to boil, add soy sauce and dissolve miso paste in a soup. Add soy milk and heat slowly over medium low heat (Don’t over boil soy milk, it might break.) Season with salt.
Cook wontons. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook wontons for a few minutes. Drain well and put it into the spicy chicken soup. Serve it in bowls topped with cilantro.
