Wanton noodles – Something I recently tried at a Chinese vegetarian restaurant. I was talking about it with my sons, and they said they liked it as well, so I decided to give it a shot. Originally intended to get the wanton – dumplings from the frozen section, but decided to make them from scratch. I used Soya chunks for protein because we are making a vegan version of noodle. You can substitute pork or chicken for the soya chunks if you prefer. You can make the wanton dumplings ahead of time and freeze them.
The noodles used in this recipe must be extremely thin. You want very crisp noodles for this, so don’t overcook them.
I used Soy sauce as well as oyster and mushroom sauce. My son said it tasted almost like hawker centre food. If you can’t find vegetarian oyster mushroom sauce, just use soy sauce.
