Here’s my hand at making wonton soup home. If you’re wary because this seems niche and like the ingredients will be hard to find – namely the wonton wrappers, THEY’RE NOT! I get mine at kroger and it might amaze you at how not a big deal it is to work them. The other star of this soup is the broth which is so pleasantly flavorful. Just with a few ingredients.
Wonton Soup
Serves five to six
1/2 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon grated or pureed ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
5 green onions, sliced
30 wonton wrappers
6 cups vegetable broth
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup sliced bok choy (about 3 leaves)
Cook ground pork in a skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, until no pink remains. Add ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and about half of the green onions to pork.
Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of pork filling onto wonton wrappers. Wet edges of wonton and fold in half into a triangle. Bring the two long ends of the triangle together and seal with water. Repeat with all wonton wrappers. I work in batches of six at a time.
In a large stockpot bring vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic powder to a boil over high heat for 8 minutes. Lower heat to simmer and drop wontons into broth. Cook for 2 minutes. Add bok choy to broth and cook 2 more minutes.
Top with remaining green onion.
