Yeo Kyung-ok's Wonja Tang

A rich and savory wonja soup made by frying chewy, seasoned ground pork dumplings with vegetables in a clear broth.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Knead the meat mixture thoroughly before shaping—it prevents the dumplings from falling apart during cooking and gives them a chewy, satisfying texture.
  • You can boil the dumplings directly in water for a lighter taste, but frying them first adds a deeper, richer aroma to the broth.
  • For a heartier meal, pre-cook wheat noodles and add them to the broth just before serving—they pair beautifully with this soup.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a deep, warm, and non-spicy Chinese-style soup.
  • People who want to enjoy the harmony of soft, juicy meat dumplings and a clear, fresh vegetable broth.
