Instructions
- Prepare the Wontons:
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork or shrimp, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and white pepper. Mix well.
- Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two corners together and pinch to form the classic wonton shape. Repeat for all wrappers.
- Cook the Wontons:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently drop in the wontons and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Make the Broth:
- In a large pot, combine chicken stock, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add bok choy and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender.
- Prepare the Noodles:
- Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Assemble the Soup:
- Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Add the wontons, pour over the hot broth, and include bok choy in each bowl.
- Add Toppings and Serve:
- Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and a drizzle of chili oil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Wonton filling can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock and replace wonton filling with finely chopped mushrooms or tofu.
- Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more soy sauce or chili oil.
