Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 24 pieces won ton wrappers
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Prepare your workspace by laying out won ton wrappers and a small bowl of water for sealing them.
3. Place about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger, then fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal. Bring the two opposite points of the triangle together and press to seal, creating the classic won ton shape. Repeat with all wrappers and filling.
4. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
5. Gently add the prepared won tons to the boiling broth and cook for 5 minutes, or until the won tons float to the top and the pork filling is fully cooked.
6. Add the snow peas and julienned carrot to the soup and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Season the soup with salt and, if desired, white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
8. Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each bowl gets an even distribution of won tons, vegetables, and broth.
9. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired and serve hot.
