Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 60ml (¼ cup) light soy sauce
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 5cm piece ginger, grated
  • ½ bunch spring onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 bird’s-eye chillies, chopped
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 1.6kg whole chicken
  • 2 tbs Shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine)
  • 2 bunches bok choy, quartered
  • 24 wonton wrappers

Method

  1. Heat oils in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add carrot, ginger, spring onion, garlic and chilli. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Season.
  3. Add chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and 1.5L water. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add chicken and top with water to cover. Return to a simmer and cook for 1 hour or until chicken is completely tender. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside to cool.
  5. Shred the chicken, discarding carcass and skin, then return the meat to the liquid in the saucepan, along with the bok choy. Return to a simmer.
  6. Add the wonton wrappers and cook until tender, then serve.

Notes

You’ll find Shaoxing at Asian grocers.
