  • ¾ to 1 teaspoon salt (if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon Amoy Soy Sauce
  1. Make egg threads (see below).
  2. Mince scallion
  3. Bring water to a boil. Add wontons and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 4-5 minutes. Drain and keep wontons warm.
  4. Bring chicken stock to a boil. Add salt (if desired) and soy sauce.
  5. Place wontons in the bottom of a large soup bowl or in individual soup bowls and pour boiling stock into the bowl. Garnish with minced scallion and egg threads.

Variation: Instead of egg thread garnish, substitute ¼ cup of slivered roast pork.

Egg Threads-Lightly beat egg, and a pinch of salt. Slightly oil a skillet and heat. Add the egg and tip the pan so it spreads thinly and evenly. Cook over low heat until egg sets up but is not dry. The edges of the egg should turn slightly brown. Flip over onto a plate, let cool. Cut into short narrow strips about 1/8 inch wide, 2-3 inches long.
