Despite its name, this Pinoy pancit dish has no noodles, just wonton-like dumplings in place of the noodles. It is a soup dish served as a snack or as an appetizer before lunch or dinner. Use my recipe for homemade wonton wrappers (see Footnote).

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Reserve 1/3 of the filling mixture for the soup.

Wrap about 1 tablespoon of the remaining filling in a wonton wrapper.

Repeat until all of the filling is used up.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add onion and garlic; saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the chicken and the reserved filling.

Add chicken broth; season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil.

Drop the filled wontons into the soup one by one.

Boil until wontons float to the top, 3 to 5 minutes.
