🍽️ Recipe Overview & Cooking Guide

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 13 minutes

Servings: 1 comforting bowl

🛒 Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 pack Knorr Quick Serve Macaroni (Wonton Flavor)
• Pre-made Wontons (fresh or frozen)
• Fresh Celery (chopped to the size of the macaroni pieces)
• 530 ml Water
• A pinch of Ground White Pepper
• A few drops of pure Sesame Oil

🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Because wontons need a little extra time to cook through properly, we simmer them alongside the celery first to infuse the broth with flavor:

1. Build the Soup Base: Pour 530 ml of water into a pot over high heat. Stir in the included Knorr wonton soup base powder until fully dissolved.
2. Cook the Wontons & Celery: Once the broth comes to a rolling boil, add your wontons and chopped celery pieces. Lower the heat to medium-low and let them simmer gently for 5 minutes.
3. Add the Macaroni: After 5 minutes, add the quick-serve macaroni into the pot. Turn the heat down to low, place the lid on, and let it simmer for exactly 3 minutes until the pasta is plump and tender.
4. Remove from Heat: Turn off the stove and move the pot off the burner.
5. The Final Flourish: Pour the hot soup and macaroni into a deep bowl. Right before serving, dust with a pinch of white pepper and a few drops of sesame oil for that classic cafe aroma. Enjoy!

💡 Pro-Tip for Foodies

Finely dicing the celery to match the exact size of the macaroni ensures you get a subtle, refreshing crunch in every single spoonful without overpowering the delicate flavor of the wontons.
