Ingredients
Scale
For the Wontons:
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
For the Broth:
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup bok choy or spinach, chopped
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and white pepper.
- Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper to seal, creating a triangle or pouch shape. Press the edges to seal tightly.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the prepared wontons into the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In another large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the chopped bok choy (or spinach) and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- To serve, place a few wontons in each bowl and pour the hot broth over them.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can freeze the uncooked wontons for future use. Just freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet and then store them in a ziplock bag.
- Bok choy can be substituted with spinach, napa cabbage, or other greens of your choice.
