Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Frozen wontons (chicken, pork, or vegetable)
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 heads Baby bok choy (chopped into quarters)
- 1 medium Carrot (thinly sliced)
- 2 stalks Scallions (sliced for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper (or black pepper)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add the soy sauce, white pepper, and a pinch of salt (if needed) to the broth. Stir well.
Carefully add the frozen wontons to the broth. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and are fully cooked.
While the wontons cook, add the baby bok choy and sliced carrots to the pot. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with more salt or soy sauce if needed.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls, ensuring each bowl has an even number of wontons and vegetables.
Garnish with sliced scallions and cilantro (if using). Serve hot and enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of wonton soup!
