What is Mì Hoành Thánh?

Mì hoành thánh is Vietnamese wonton noodle soup: pork and shrimp wontons with egg noodles in a light, clear pork broth, usually topped with sliced char siu and greens.

Wontons paired with egg noodle, char siu, and a light pork stock - talk about cozy 😊 Refer to my Banh Canh Gio Heo recipe for the pork stock.

Ingredients

• ¼ lb ground pork
• ¼ lb shrimp minced
• 6 green onions white part only
• ½ tablespoon sesame oil
• black pepper
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ tablespoon sugar
• 1 egg
• ¼ lb wonton wrappers half package

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the wonton wrappers. Combine well.
• Add ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of filling to each wonton wrapper. Seal the edges using water. Repeat until all the meat mixture is gone. Note: Do not stack your wontons - they will stick. Place the wontons on a plate and give each enough space so you do not overcrowd.
• In a medium bowl, add cold water and ice. Set near where you will be cooking the wontons.
• Bring a medium pot to a boil with water and add the wontons once boiling. The wontons will be cooked once they float to the top - 3 to 5 minutes.
• Once cooked, use a mesh strainer to remove them from the boiling water directly into the ice bath. Allow for them to cool before draining and placing in a container for storage.
• Once ready to serve, add your wontons to your noodle bowl and ladle the broth over.
