Meat-filled wontons swim in a flavored broth enhanced with ginger, soy, sesame, and garlic.
Ingredients :
30 wonton wrappers
Wonton Filling
8 ounces ground pork
2 green onions finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
Broth
8 cups chicken broth
2 cloves garlic whole
2 slices fresh ginger approx. 1/4-inch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 green onions sliced
Directions :
Wontons
In a large bowl add pork, green onions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well to combine.
Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little bit of water and fold in half to create a triangle. Moisten the two longer tips, bring them together, and press.
Dip the bottom in a bit of flour and place on a parchment lined pan. Repeat with the remaining wontons.
Soup
In a large pot, add the broth, garlic, sliced ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
Remove garlic and ginger and discard.
Add the wontons to the soup and simmer for an additional 4-6 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Serve immediately.
