Directions

  1. Soak rice noodles in a bowl of cold water until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add noodles, cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  3. Place shrimp on a flat work surface, pound with a meat tenderizer until a thick paste forms. Mix in sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. Place a wonton wrapper diagonally on a flat work surface. Add a spoonful of shrimp paste above the center of the wrapper. Dip a finger in egg white and dab it on the top corner. Fold top corner over to just cover the shrimp paste. Dab egg white on the fold, overlap left and right corners in the center. Repeat with remaining wrappers and shrimp.

  5. Bring chicken broth and water to a boil in a large pot. Add wontons. Cook over medium-high heat until wontons float to the surface, about 5 minutes.

  6. Divide noodles among serving bowls, sprinkle scallions on top. Divide wontons among bowls. Cover with hot broth.

Recipe Note

I've loved shrimp wontons with noodles since I was a child. It's a typical Cantonese (Southern Chinese) recipe and is found in most tea cafes in Hong Kong. Most of the time wontons contain pork but I prefer those with shrimp only.
