Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Wonton noodles (fresh or dried)
- 8 ounces Ground chicken or turkey (for wontons)
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Minced ginger
- 3 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 20 sheets Wonton wrappers
- 2 heads Baby bok choy (or other leafy greens)
- 4 cups Low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken or turkey with 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 tablespoon chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
Take a wonton wrapper and place 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold into a triangle or desired shape, pressing to seal tightly. Repeat until all the filling is used.
Cook the wontons in a pot of boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large pot, bring the low sodium chicken broth and water to a gentle boil. Add the remaining garlic and ginger. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.
Add the bok choy to the broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until tender.
Meanwhile, cook the wonton noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide into serving bowls.
To assemble, ladle the broth and bok choy over the noodles. Add cooked wontons to each bowl.
Top with the remaining green onions and a tiny pinch of white pepper for added flavor (optional). Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium wonton noodles.
