Have you ever made your own wontons or dumplings? They can be time consuming, but they are worth it, they taste so good and you can then make soup out of them! This Sauerkraut wontons and wonton soup would be a great place to start!
We used The Goods sauerkraut that you can buy in Woolworths for the wontons and the soup. I never thought to put sauerkraut in a soup before, but it really works!
You can mix up the wontons as much as you like, I just used the ingredients I had on hand, but you could use other herbs and veggies and they would still taste amazing!
I kept the soup itself fairly simple, but you could add extra veg or flavour as much as you like.
The Wontons could be eaten separately, try them steamed or fried. YUM! I didn’t really know how to wrap them so I followed this guide here.

- Dash of olive oil
- Dash of sesame oil
- 1 spring onion diced finely
- 1 portobello mushroom diced finely
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup coriander chopped finely
- 1/2 block silken tofu
- 1/3 cup sauerkraut chopped finely
- 16 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- A few stalks of bok choy or similar stalks chopped into about 1 inch strips and leaves separated.
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 1/2 litres water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable stock
- Wedge of lemon optional
- 8 wontons
- small handful of coriander chopped
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut
-
Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a saucepan, add the spring onion, mushrooms, ginger and coriander and cook for a few minutes. Crumble the silken tofu into the pan, cook for a further few minutes and then add the sauerkraut and stir through. Turn off the heat and let mixture cool.
-
Once the mixture is cool, spoon about 1 teaspoon of mixture into the centre of a wonton wrapper and fold it into a dumpling. I use a little bit of water on the edges to hold it together.
-
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook for around 5 minutes, till softened. Then add the bok choy stalks, garlic and ginger and stir for a minute. Add the water, vegetable stock and wedge of lemon and cook for about 5 minutes. Add 8 (or more!) of the wontons you have made to the soup. Also add the leaves of the bok choy at this stage, the coriander and stir through the sauerkraut. Cook on a low simmer for 5 minutes until wontons are ready. Serve up and enjoy!
