Shrimp and Pork Meatball Wonton Noodle Soup

This Shrimp and Pork Meatball Wonton Noodle Soup is quick and easy to make and so flavorful. 

The meatballs contain both shrimp and pork, along with garlic, ginger, scallions, cilantro, jalapeño, and oyster sauce.

For the oyster sauce, I recommend Lee Kum Kee premium oyster sauce, which is the one with the picture of a mother and son in a boat on the bottle.

Pork and shrimp belong together in my book. I've combined them in pork and shrimp spring rolls, shrimp and pork potstickers, and pork and shrimp egg rolls. Each time I've been so happy with the results.

How to Make Shrimp and Pork Meatball Soup

To make this shrimp and pork meatball soup, you mix a half pound of ground pork with a half pound of finely chopped shrimp, along with the rest of the ingredients. Then you shape the mixture into four large meatballs and set them aside in the refrigerator. You can also make several smaller meatballs if you prefer, but I liked the ease of making just four.

While the meatballs are resting, you mix vegetable or chicken broth with ginger and garlic and cook it for about 15 minutes to extract the flavors into the broth.

Next you put the meatballs in the broth, add shiitake mushrooms, and simmer the meatballs until they are cooked through, about another 12 minutes. Finally, you add some sliced wonton wrappers for the "noodles" in this soup. They take just a couple of minutes to cook.

You can make this soup in advance but omit adding the wonton wrappers, adding them later when you reheat the soup.

This soup takes no more than 45 minutes from start to finish to make, including prepping the ingredients. It makes a really nice light lunch or dinner, and is perfect to serve on a rainy day.
