Instructions
1
Prepare the filling
Mix ground lamb with egg white, fine salt, soy sauce, and Sichuan peppercorn water, stirring in one direction until a smooth paste forms. Add minced cilantro, minced scallion, minced wood ear mushroom, peanut oil, sesame oil, and MSG, stirring in the same direction to combine into the filling.
2
Wrap the wontons
Take a wonton wrapper, place a portion of the prepared filling on it, and wrap it into a raw wonton.
3
Prepare the soup base
Heat lamb bone broth in a pot until boiling, then add minced pickled mustard tuber, minced cilantro, minced nori, sesame oil, MSG, and ground white pepper to season.
4
Cook the wontons
Bring a separate pot of fresh water to a rolling boil, add the raw wontons. Use a spatula to stir gently from the bottom in a consistent direction. When the wontons float to the surface and no white foam remains around them, they are fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked wontons to a serving bowl, then pour the seasoned broth over them to serve.
