Ingredients
Wonton filling ingredients
- 450 g ground pork
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Soup base ingredients
- 2 liters chicken broth
- 1 cup chopped bok choy
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 package wonton wrappers (400 g)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper for the wonton filling. Mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold it over to create a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal it.
Cooking
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the wontons and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until they float and are cooked through. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate large pot, combine the chicken broth, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the cooked wontons, bok choy, mushrooms, and cilantro into the broth. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the bok choy is tender.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve hot with crispy spring rolls or steamed rice. Garnish with extra green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. To avoid bursting wontons, seal them tightly. Customize the filling with shrimp, chicken, or tofu. Enhance the broth with chili oil or rice vinegar.
