Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g ground pork
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups bok choy
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp white pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and ginger. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and drop about a teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip.
Fold the wrapper in half to make a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal tightly and ensure no air is trapped inside.
Bring the two corners of the longer edge of the triangle up and moisten them with water, then pinch them together to form a small 'hat' shape. Repeat this process with remaining filling and wrappers.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Season the broth with remaining soy sauce, salt, and white pepper.
Gently place the filled wontons into the broth, then add the bok choy. Allow them to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the wontons float and are cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
