Ingredients

Scale

For the Wontons:

  • 1/2 lb (225g) ground pork or chicken
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 20–25 wonton wrappers

For the Soup:

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 2 cups baby spinach or bok choy
  • 1/2 cup sliced scallions (for garnish)

Instructions


  • Make the Wonton Filling:
    • In a bowl, combine ground pork or chicken, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, and white pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Assemble the Wontons:
    • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.
    • Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal.
    • Bring the two corners of the triangle together and press to seal, creating the classic wonton shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Prepare the Broth:
    • In a large pot, bring the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and white pepper to a gentle boil.
  • Cook the Wontons:
    • Gently add the wontons to the broth. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the wontons float and the filling is cooked through.
  • Add the Greens:
    • Stir in the baby spinach or bok choy and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
  • Serve:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve hot.

Notes


  • To save time, you can use store-bought frozen wontons. Adjust cooking time as needed.
  • Add mushrooms, shredded carrots, or bean sprouts for extra veggies.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the wontons.
