Ingredients:
For the Wontons:
- 200g ground pork
- 100g shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 package wonton wrappers (about 30-40 wrappers)
For the Soup:
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup bok choy or baby spinach
Ingredients:
1: Prepare the Wonton Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and beaten egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2: Assemble the Wontons
- Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it in half to form a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal. Fold the two outer corners of the triangle towards the center and press to seal, creating a small pouch. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3: Prepare the Soup Broth
- In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth with water, minced garlic, sliced ginger, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Season with salt to taste.
4: Cook the Wontons
- Gently add the wontons to the simmering broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the wontons float to the top and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot; you may need to cook the wontons in batches.
5: Add Vegetables
- Add the bok choy or baby spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
6: Serve and Enjoy
- Ladle the soup and wontons into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Wonton Soup!
