Step 1

Make the soup: Combine the chicken stock, ginger, and dried shrimp in a stock pot over medium low heat and bring to a gentle boil. Turn the heat down to very low (1 to 2 bubbles) while you make the wonton.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the pork, ginger, scallions, soy, Shaoxing, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Whisk the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water and mix into the filling until the pork forms a paste. Mix in the shrimp.Optional: Massage the shrimp with 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing throughly, chopping, and mixing into the wonton filling.

Step 3

Take a wonton wrapper and place 2 teaspoons of the meat filling near the edge. Fold/roll the wrapper up, enclosing the filling. Bring the opposite ends of the wrapper together and use a dab of water to seal. Alternatively, just wet the edges of the wrapper and bring together and pinch into a small pouch. Keep the wrappers and finished wonton covered with saran wrap as you work, to keep them from drying out.

Step 4

Bring a second large pot of water to boil over high heat. When the water reaches a rapid boil, add in your wonton. Stir gently so they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot. They will start to float once they’re cooked through. Cook for 3-4 minutes (depending on size) or until cooked through – cut one open to check.

Step 5

Strain or scoop the solids out of the broth. Taste the broth and add in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, to taste. Fill a bowl with the soup and add the cooked wonton and greens. Finish with scallions and enjoy!
