A comforting and flavorful Wonton Soup with a spicy Korean-inspired broth, combining tender wontons with a vibrant, aromatic broth made from gochujang, garlic, ginger, and a perfect balance of soy sauce and rice vinegar. Ideal for a warming meal with an extra kick of heat if desired.

Ingredients

Scale

Wontons

  • Homemade or store-bought wontons (about 12-16 pieces)

Spicy Broth

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons chili oil (optional, for extra heat)

Garnish

  • Fresh herbs or scallions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the gochujang, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to combine well. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional chili oil for more heat.
  2. Cook the Wontons: Gently add the wontons to the simmering broth. Cook the wontons for about 5 to 6 minutes or until they float to the surface and are fully cooked through. Be careful to stir gently to prevent sticking.
  3. Serve: Using a ladle, transfer the cooked wontons and broth into serving bowls. Garnish generously with fresh herbs or sliced scallions. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of gochujang and omit the chili oil.
  • Vegetarian broth can be used to make this recipe vegan if the wontons are filled with vegetables.
  • Wontons can be made ahead and frozen; cook directly from frozen with an additional minute or two in the broth.
  • Fresh herbs such as cilantro or Thai basil add extra fragrance and complement the spicy broth well.
  • Adjust the saltiness by tasting the broth before adding the wontons, as soy sauce adds salt.
