Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Ground pork
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Bok choy, chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, sesame oil, soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, and 1 chopped green onion. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Prepare a clean surface or cutting board to assemble the wontons. Lay out a single wonton wrapper, and place about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center.
Lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Bring the two bottom corners together and pinch to form the traditional wonton shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large pot, heat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped green onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the bok choy and carrot, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with rice vinegar, salt, and white pepper.
Carefully add the wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and the filling is fully cooked.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped green onion if desired.
