Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 10 whole cabbage leaves
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, soy sauce or tamari, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and chopped scallions. Mix until well combined.
Take a cabbage leaf and place about one heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center. Fold it like a dumpling, bringing the edges together and securing with a toothpick if needed. Repeat until all the filling is used.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Add the cabbage 'won tons' to the broth carefully, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and let the won tons simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the mushrooms to the soup and let them cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add baby spinach, salt, and black pepper. Stir and let the soup continue to simmer until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the toothpicks from the cabbage dumplings before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
