Here, I will share the recipe with you and maybe give you some ideas.

Please don't hesitate to drop me any comments or questions regarding this recipe, I need it to improve my cooking in the future. Thank you :-)

What you need :

Wonton ingredients - Finely minced :

10 pcs wonton wrappers 
1 cup grated carrot 
100 gr Tofu
2 cloves garlic, minced 
a stalk green onion, thinly sliced 
salt and paper for taste
white and black ground pepper

Soup Ingredients :
2 cup of water/chicken or beef broth
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup one onion, thinly sliced
salt and sugar for taste 
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 
2 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
ground white and black pepper
baby bokcoy, cut into 2 inches pieces 


Make it :

English version
- Wonton : Combine and mix well wonton ingredients into a bowl. Don't forget to taste.

- To fill the wontons, lay one won ton skin in front of you.Moisten all the edges of the won ton wrapper with water. Place a heaping teaspoon of won ton filling in the center.
Fold the wonton wrapper in half lengthwise, making sure the ends meet. Press down firmly on the ends to seal. Use thumbs to push down on the edges of the filling to center it. Keeping thumbs in place, fold over the wonton wrapper one more time. Push the corners up and hold in place between your thumb and index finger. Wet the corners with your fingers. Bring the two ends together so that they overlap. Press to seal. The finished product should resemble a nurse's cap. Or The final result should resemble a money bag or drawstring purse. Repeat with remaining wontons.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the won tons, making sure there is enough room for them to move about freely. Let the wontons boil for 5 - 8 minutes, until they rise to the top and the filling is cooked through. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon.

- Soup Directions : Bring broth into boil then add garlic and onion, let it simmer for another 3 minutes.
- Add sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce and salt, sugar also pepper for taste. Saute gently and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Don't forget to taste.
- Add Baby bokcoy, cooked for another 2 minutes then remove the heat.
