These orange and ginger goose wontons can be served in the chicken broth soup or served as a main dish. If you’re using two goose breasts like this recipe calls for, you will end up using the entire package of wontons.
Serves: 4
Preparation: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 boneless goose breasts, cut into thin slices
- 8 oz sliced water chestnuts, divided
- 32 oz unsalted chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups Bok Choy, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup basil, chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk beaten + 1 tbsp water
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 4 green onions, sliced
Goose Marinade
- 1/3 cup juice from an orange
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients and the goose. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or overnight.
- Drain the goose from the marinade and dispose of the marinade. Add the meat to a food processor along with ½ the can of water chestnuts and pulse a few times to blend ingredients until minced.
- Place 1 teaspoon of mixture just below the center of the wonton wrapper. Using your finger, moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little egg yolk and seal forming a triangle. Bring the two side points up and over the filling and pinch the ends together. Repeat until done.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a low simmer on the stove. Gently drop wontons into the water bath for 3-4 minutes or until wontons float to the top. Remove wontons with a slotted spoon, drain and set aside. Repeat until all wontons are cooked. Discard the water.
- Place the pot back on the stove over medium heat. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups of water and bring to a low boil. Add remaining water chestnuts, chopped bok choy, cilantro, basil and a pinch of kosher salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add goose wontons to broth and simmer until warm.
- Serve the wonton soup in a large bowl and garnish with sliced green onions.
