Instructions
Creating wonton soup at home is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps to craft a delicious and fulfilling dish:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the ground chicken (or tofu), finely chopped green onion, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Wontons:
- Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, fold it over the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cook the Wontons:
- In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Carefully add the wontons into the boiling broth. Allow them to cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Add the Vegetables:
- Stir in the chopped bok choy and let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook through and the flavors to meld.
- Season and Serve:
- Serve the wonton soup hot, seasoning it with soy sauce to taste and a drizzle of sesame oil for added depth.
