Weeknight Wonton Soup

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper and mix well until everything is fully combined.

Step 2

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 into a triangle or purse shape, sealing the edges tightly to prevent the filling from escaping.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Carefully drop the prepared wontons into the simmering broth. Allow them to cook for about 4-6 minutes or until they float to the surface, which indicates they’re done.

Step 5

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed.

Step 6

Once the wontons are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to include the wontons and broth in each serving.

Step 7

Top each bowl with chopped green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor and spice. Serve immediately.
