   Â
Â
Ingredients For the Wanton Case
½ cup Maida (wheat flour)
2-3 tbsp white oil
¼ cup corn flour
¼ tsp baking powder
1 egg, salt to taste
Ingredients For The Filling
2-3 tbsp sprouts (green moong / matki)
2-3 sprigs spring onion
½ tsp Soya sauce
¼ tsp ginger-garlic paste
Freshly powdered black pepper
a pinch ajinomoto (Mono Sodium Glutamate)
6-8 cups water
1 tbsp corn flour
Salt to taste
Â
Method
For The Filling
Par-boil the vegetable sprout. Alternately, you can use pre-cooked/left over sprout. Drain the water and mix loosely with ginger-garlic paste, Soya sauce and 2 tbsp. finely chopped onion with a few leaves.
For the Wantons
Knead the wheat flour along with corn flour adding oil, baking powder, salt and egg to a stiff but smooth dough. Add a little water if required. Make small balls from the dough and roll them to thin small circles, put about 1 tsp of the filling, shape into round pouches giving a light twist at the neck, leaving the ends loose.
For the Soup
Boil water in a large pan. Drop the wantons one by one very gently and boil till they rise on top and change colour. This will take about 3-4 minutes. Add a few drops of oil to keep the wantons from sticking to each other. Make a smooth paste of corn flour and pour this in the boiling soup. Simmer for a while. Cut the remaining onion leaves into 1" long pieces and add to the soup. Add ajinomoto (Mono Sodium Glutamate) and salt to taste. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and serve hot with chilli-vinegar sauce.
