Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 lb ground pork

1/4 cup minced scallions

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp ground white pepper

1 egg yolk

1 pack wonton wrappers

8 cups chicken broth

2 cups water

1 inch ginger, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 cup sliced scallions for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the wonton filling: In a bowl, mix the ground pork, minced scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and egg yolk until well combined.

2. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and add a teaspoon of filling to the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper into a triangle, and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

3. In a large pot, bring chicken broth and water to a boil. Add ginger slices and minced garlic. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes to infuse flavors.

4. Gently slide the wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the wontons float and the filling is cooked through.

5. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

6. Serve hot, garnished with sliced scallions.

Storage

Store any leftover wontons separately from the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

Reheat the soup gently on the stove over medium heat until warmed through. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to adjust consistency.
