Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 package wonton wrapper
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup of dried shrimp
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
  • ½ cup green onions
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Broth

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • dried seaweed (紫菜)
  • 1 small bunch of baby Bok Choy
  • green onions for garnish
  • chili oil optional
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the ground pork, dried shrimp, and green onions together. Then add all the seasonings into the mixture and combine well.
  • Wrap the wontons. There are two ways to do this, please see the post above for detailed instructions.
  • In a saucepan, heat the chicken stock in a pot until it boils. Cook on high heat and stir often for 2-3 minutes.
  • In another large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Put in a few wontons at a time, for a total of 20 or less, and let it return to a boil. Stir gently to separate them. Reduce to medium-high heat and let the wontons cook for 4 minutes uncovered, or until the wonton is cooked and rises to the surface of the soup. Take them out with a strainer and put them into a bowl.
  • Add the Bok Choy to the same saucepan (where the wontons were in) and continue to boil for another 30 seconds, transfer into the same bowl which has the wontons in it.
  • Pour the heated chicken broth over the wontons. Garnish the soup with dried seaweed, and a pinch of salt and chili oil (optional) to taste. You can also add some soy sauce, and sesame oil too according to your preference.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

During the preparation process, keep the wonton skins covered to prevent them from drying out.
