Wonton noodles or wantan mee is a popular Cantonese noodle dish which is a very simple noodle dish served in a hot broth garnished with wonton dumplings, meats and vegetables. This dish is not just popular in China but in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and Hong Kong as well. The variation of each location is minimal and mostly it varies only with the vegetable used and the additional meats. Commonly they use thin egg noodles but others use rice noodles or thick egg noodles.
In Hong Kong the most common way of serving this is only with wontons and leafy vegetables, some establishments even serve this deconstructed meaning everything is in separate bowls. In Malaysia and Singapore thin slices of char siu are added, some other variations are spicy and some even used deep fried wontons in replacement for the boiled ones. In Philippines it is a bit different as there are also several versions and the most popular one is called Pancit Molo where cooking method is the same but the noodles used are the wonton wrappers itself. In Thailand it is also served with their version of char sui called mu daeng “red pork” and is served with garnishes like chillies preserved in vinegar, dried chilli flakes and fish sauce.

One of my ultimate favourites and I tend to eat alot of these for breakfast on my travels, (incidentally to Hong Kong) over Christmas too! Yours looks equally tasty for anytime, night or day 🙂

I am always mesmerized by how beautiful bowl of soups layered with colorful ingredients look.. This looks perfect! God, I have missed so many posts here, now I am drooling over every deliciousness!!!
I am always so impressed with how you style your soups. They look so artistic. I’ve never had wonton soup before. In fact I don’t know that I’ve ever had wonton anything before…another new one I’ll have to try.
I can eat this every lunch. Wait, I used to do that when I was in college… I ate at least once a week! Well, not homemade, at a restaurant… so comforting and nostalgic. 😉

This recipe is very good! It’s also quite widespread in Vietnam under the name of “Hoanh Thanh Xa Xiu”, which is the vietnamese name of wantan charsiu mee!
