Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped bok choy
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- To assemble the wontons, place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal the wonton closed.
- Repeat this process until all of the pork mixture has been used up. You should end up with about 24 wontons.
- In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped bok choy and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the wontons to the pot and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the wontons are cooked through and the filling is no longer pink.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with additional sliced scallions and a dash of soy sauce, if desired.
Tips:
- If you don't have wonton wrappers, you can use square egg roll wrappers cut into smaller squares.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free wonton wrappers and gluten-free soy sauce.
- You can also add additional ingredients to the broth, such as sliced carrots or sliced shiitake mushrooms, for added flavor and nutrition.
