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.

INGREDIENTS

For the Char Siu Pork:

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder
  • 2 tbsp char siu powder mix
  • 3 tbsp Momofuku Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Momofuku Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Momofuku Toasted Sesame Oil

For the Sweet & Savory Wontons:

  • 1 package wonton wrappers
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped Chinese chives
  • 1 tbsp Momofuku Sweet & Savory BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Momofuku Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Momofuku Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tsp grated garlic
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Cornstarch
  • Water

For the Broth:

  • 2 16.9 oz Kettle & Fire Chicken Bone Broth
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 2 tbsp chicken boullion powder
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • salt to taste

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.
