Remove all the spices, scallions, and ginger slices. save the fried onion and garlic for the filling.

Roughly diced 200 grams of peeled and deveined shrimp. Add it to a big mixing bowl along with 300 grams of ground chicken thigh.

    Thank you for making these videos, I'm a single dad raising a 14 yr old that use to love his mother's cooking. Since she passed I have to learn how to cook and going through YouTube to find instructional videos of cooking. I found your instruction very clear and simple to follow. what a great channel, please keep up the good work. Thank you so much!

    One of my boys loves Wonton soup. I have been making it for him for 26 years. When he moved out, all he asked for for Christmas, and birthdays was to fill his freezer with Wonton. My recipe…was much simpler. I was so intrigued by your recipe I made a patch, and I was blown away. My son said it’s the best thing he has ever eaten. Tomorrow he is coming over for Wonton making day. We do it 3 times a year…now we use your amazing recipe. Thank you sooooo much.
  • Tried this due to the fact that everyone in my family has been getting a sore throat and they wanted something to soothe it...they are asking me to make it again. 😍
  • @amnaabdulla3662
    Hello 👋🏻.. I made this recipe today for my family and it was delicious 😋.. I would like to share my notes here: I used 500g ground chicken without shrimp. I used fresh chicken broth which I made a week earlier. I didn't use wine because I am a Muslim. I made myself the wonton wraps: 2 cups of All purpose flour, 1 tbsp hemalaya salt, > cup of water &1 egg. I used the pasta maker to have very thin wrapper. I got around 73 square wrappers!! It took time and effort to make the wrappers but I enjoyed it and was worth it!! Thanks alot 👍🏻
  • @PaulCHa
    I love that there is a bit of Chinese language and science lessons incorporated into your videos!
  • @JK-lk6mx
    "18 cloves of garlic" Me: Now we're talkin'
  • I really love how you explain why you do things. So many recipe videos just tell people what to do without telling them why. As someone who experiments with cooking and finds it hard to completely follow a recipe, knowing why things are done is important and interesting. Thanks for the amazing content!
  • @toddb6576
    I don't think I have ever watched a cooking video that made my mouth water as much as this one. Well done dear!
  • I love how you explain the rationale of each step in cooking! Thank you.
  • @itsdeclan7733
    As a chef for many years I have never seen chopped garlic rinsed before. Just goes to show we never stop learning. Looks delicious. Cant wait to try it.
  • @isispitt6203
    Okay so I made these sometime last year for my first time (down to making my own wonton wrappers) and I was so so proud of myself for the way they came out thanks to your recipe ♥️ I’ve been teaching myself how to cook different foods and I usually stick with Caribbean but the way these came out gave me so much more confidence to make dishes I didn’t grow up with and hopefully I have some time soon to do it again
  • @giaan4339
    Mandy, you’re really a life savor! Whenever I want to cook Chinese dish, your channel would come to me first! And it’s feel like I can find every recipe on here. Thanks again!

  • @phuongkern8027

  • @JRS2248
    Thank you for this recipe. I love your channel and all the recipes you present. I'm an elderly man of 75 and I love making your dishes. Your never to old to take care of you stomach.
  • I've been ordering won ton soup for decades and never relized it was this easy to make. Thank you I will be making my own soon.
  • @ladygeneviere
    OMG. My whole house smells delicious. On its own, it’s yummy but when neighbours drop by, I add noodles to extend the wonton.
  • @bellafaith1065
    This was phenomenal!! My family didn't leave any of it haha. My husband literally said, "This is so much better than takeout!" Thank you for sharing this. Definitely is a part of our favorite family meals from now on.
