Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Water
- 2 heads Baby bok choy (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for broth)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (for broth)
- 2 stalks Green onion (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, finely chopped green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and salt until well mixed. This will be your wonton filling.
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling to the center of the wrapper.
Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger, then fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal.
Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together to form the classic wonton shape and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large pot, bring chicken broth and water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the broth for seasoning.
Carefully drop the wontons into the simmering broth and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the wontons float and the filling is fully cooked.
Add the halved baby bok choy to the soup during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, allowing them to soften slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce if needed.
Ladle the wonton soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
