Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly to create the won ton filling.
Place a won ton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the filling into the center.
Using your finger or a small brush, lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges tightly to ensure no filling escapes.
For added security, bring the two outer corners of the triangle together and press to form a 'purse' shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a soup pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Add the diced green chilies and soy sauce to the broth. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup to slightly thicken the broth. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Carefully drop the prepared won tons into the simmering soup, one at a time, to prevent sticking. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the won ton wrappers are translucent and the filling is fully cooked.
Add the baby spinach or bok choy to the soup and stir gently until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of won tons, greens, and broth.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
