36 fresh Shrimp Won Ton
8 cup Chicken broth
1 Tablespoon Light Soy Sauce or to taste
2 Tablespoon dry Sherry
1/4 teaspoon White Pepper
1/3 cup Cornstarch mixed with 1/3 cup Water

Method for "Fried Shrimp Won Ton Soup With Smoked Ham"

To deep-fry won ton:- Preheat a wok or deep saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add at least 2 inches oil; heat to 365. Deep-fry the won ton in batches, without crowding and turning occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a skimmer, drain on paper towels. Put won tons in a shallow 3-quart soup tureen. Bring chicken stock, soy sauce, sherry and white pepper to a boil in a large stockpot. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook until soup thickens, about 15 seconds. Fold in sesame oil. Remove stockpot from heat. Lightly beat the egg whites just to break them up a bit. Stir soup in a circular motion while slowly and in a steady stream pouring in the egg whites. The whites should set within seconds into a lacy pattern. Pour soup over won tons, garnish with chopped onions, cilantro and Smithfield ham. Serve hot.
