Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 20 pieces Won ton wrappers
- 6 cups Chicken stock
- 2 heads Baby bok choy, chopped
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (for broth)
- 0.25 tsp White pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, garlic, ginger, and salt. Mix well to form the filling.
Place a won ton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
Use your finger to wet the edges of the won ton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Then, bring the two bottom corners together and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add soy sauce and white pepper to the broth for flavor.
Carefully drop the prepared won tons into the boiling broth. Let cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the won tons float to the surface and the filling is fully cooked.
Add the chopped baby bok choy to the soup and let cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until tender.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a few won tons and some bok choy. Serve hot and enjoy!
