  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 1 package of wonton wrappers (about 50-60 wrappers)

For the Soup:

  • 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter version)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Prepare the Wontons:

1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and white pepper. Mix well.

2

Place a small teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal. Fold the two opposite corners together and seal with a little water to form a small parcel. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers

Prepare the Soup:

3

In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, cooking until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).

4

Add the chicken broth, water, soy sauce, rice wine (if using), and sesame oil. Bring to a boil.

5

Reduce heat to a simmer and gently add the wontons, cooking for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

6

If using, add the baby spinach or bok choy in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to wilt them.

Serve:

7

Ladle the soup and wontons into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions.
