Instructions
1. Prepare the wonton filling: In a food processor, combine ground chicken, shrimp, egg white, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground white pepper until the mixture forms a paste.
2. Assemble the wontons: Lay out one wonton wrapper at a time. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Wet the edges lightly with water, fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, and press to seal. Make sure there are no air pockets. Bring the two bottom corners together and seal to form a wonton shape. Repeat for all wrappers.
3. Cook the wontons: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add wontons in small batches and boil for 5–6 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. Prepare the noodle soup base: In a medium pot, heat a teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and salt to taste.
5. Add bok choy to the broth: Cut the bok choy heads into halves or quarters and simmer in the broth for 3–5 minutes, until tender. Remove from broth and set aside.
6. Cook the high-protein noodles: Prepare the noodles according to package instructions, then divide into serving bowls.
7. Assemble the dish: Add a few cooked wontons and bok choy to each bowl on top of the noodles. Ladle hot broth over the top.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle sliced scallions and optional chopped cilantro over each bowl before serving. Enjoy the warm, protein-packed wonton noodle soup!
