    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tsp grated ginger
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 green onion, finely chopped
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp white pepper
    • 24 wonton wrappers
  • For the Broth:
    • 4 cups chicken broth
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1-inch ginger, sliced

Instructions

  • Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix ground pork, shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, salt, and white pepper.
  • Assemble Wontons: Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold diagonally, and press to seal. Bring corners together and pinch. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • Prepare the Broth: In a pot, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Cook Wontons: Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add wontons and cook until they float (about 4 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Assemble the Soup: Add bok choy to the broth and cook for 2 minutes. Divide wontons into bowls, ladle hot broth over, and garnish with green onions and chili oil if desired.

Notes

  • Use store-bought wonton wrappers for convenience.
  • Freeze uncooked wontons for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust seasoning in the broth to taste.
