Wonton Noodle Soup / Mì Hoành Thánh

Is there anything more comforting than wonton noodle soup? The broth is light but also has a subtle complexity from the usage of both pork bones and rehydrated dried shrimp.

Additional toppings include Chinese BBQ pork, and you can view that recipe beforehand as well!
