My journey began with finding this website. Maggie is talented and able to guide people
Like me — who have zero experience with Asian food- to have success. She’s the best. I wish I could take classes with Maggie

I can’t wait to try this. I do not eat meat so new ideas are exciting. Thanks.

I used Chinese dried seaweed in it: https://amzn.to/4bSRHyP
It’s actually quite different from kombu and nori, but maybe a bit closer to nori.
It is fluffy and light in the dried form. Once hydrated, which is instant once you pour hot soup onto it, it becomes quite thin and tender. It adds fragrance to the soup and it tastes nice too. If you don’t have this type of seaweed, making a dashi using kombu could work as well.

Did you use konbu for this recipe? I ask because it the photos it looks more like nori. Thank you!

I made this recipe back in 2020 and seriously can’t stop thinking about how good it is! Every time I pull it out I second guess myself that this is the recipe I LOVED because it was SO easy. I’m going to be making it again in a couple of weeks and can’t wait. THANKS to the person that let the world know about this recipe it’s a keeper.

Maybe you can check out her gluten free wonton wrapper recipe: https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-won-ton-wrappers/
For rice paper, you can find it easily at any Asian markets. Amazon carries them too: https://amzn.to/3jfGW3o
Another unconventional way is to use yuba sheet as wrapper. Yuba sheet is made with soy bean and water (the same ingredients for making tofu), so it’s gluten free.
You can see how I use it in a soup here: https://omnivorescookbook.com/vegan-egg-drop-soup/
The sheet is like a wrapper. If you use it to wrap wonton and simply fold it, it kinds stick together by itself. It could make a very delicious wonton soup. You do need to visit an Asian market (H Mart carries them) for yuba sheet.

I LOVE Wonton soup, but because I MUST ABSOLUTELY stay gluten-free (celiac), what brands carry rice paper so I can make them without dealing with wheat as an ingredient? Or, alternatively, can you provide a recipe for gluten-free wonton wrappers? Rice is such a staple, there must be one way to substitute so I can again enjoy wonton soup?

In reply to Frances.

Hi Frances, sorry the recipe was confusing. I definitely messed up the measurement since it doesn’t add up. I just fixed the recipe so it should be correct now.
Per serving it should be:
1 1/2 cup broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon minger
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
(and green onion or cilantro for garnish)
When you cook the traditional way, all the seasonings are added to each bowl, then you pour in the sauce.
I changed the method to cooking the soy sauce and ginger in the broth, to make the process a little bit easier.
I think I forgot to change my instruction, so you saw soy sauce twice.

Hi – Would you clarify how much soy sauce and sesame oil for the chicken broth based soup. The instructions say to cook with the soy sauce, and then add more 1 TBL/serving?

Margie, I just have to tell you how much I enjoy and learn reading your recipes. I used a few of them in stir-frying. But most of all, I learn so much regardless of the recipe. Priceless. Thank you, Russ.
