Wonton Noodle Soup with Char Siu Pork
We’re in the kitchen with Linda Vo of @itslindavo to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with a comforting, elevated take on a childhood classic: Wonton Noodle Soup with Char Siu Pork. This recipe combines savory, protein-enriched chicken bone broth with sweet and tender dumplings, all brought together with Momofuku’s Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Sauce for deep flavor without extra steps.
Inspired by Linda’s memories of family food trips to Toronto’s Chinatown, this bowl is a warm and nostalgic tribute that’s perfect for a cozy night in. Serves 2-4.

- 1/2 cup chopped Chinese chives
- 1 tbsp Momofuku Sweet & Savory BBQ Sauce

- 2 tsp grated garlic
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper

Directions
For the Char Siu Pork:
Combine the Momofuku Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Sauce, char siu powder mix, Momofuku Soy sauce, honey, and Momofuku Toasted Sesame Oil in a bowl with the pork.
Marinate for at least 2/3 hours (overnight recommended) in the refrigerator.
Bake on a rack at 400F for 20 minutes, flip & roast for another 15/20 minutes.
Baste with leftover marinade during the last 10 minutes. Rest the pork for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
For the Wontons:
In a bowl, combine ingredients together. Using a glove, mix the filling until fully incorporated.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a sealant for the wontons.
Add a tablespoon of filling in each wonton, add cornstarch seal and fold diagonally to make the edges meet. Then fold corners inwards one more time until there are 4 points at the top. These do not have to be perfect!
In a pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add in wontons, then add in 1/2 cup ice cold water.
When the wontons float to the top, they are ready. This method prevents the wonton wrapper and filling from overcooking.
For the Broth:
In a pot, bring the chicken bone broth to a simmer. Add in 2 slices of fresh ginger and chicken boullion powder. After 30 minutes, add white pepper & salt to taste.
In a separate pot, boil and blanch veggies such as bok choy or choy sum. Also boil thin egg noodles for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
Place egg noodles, veggies, char siu pork, and dumplings in a bowl. Sprinkle fried shallots and ladle in the wonton broth. Add in Momofuku Chili Crunch for some added heat.
