Savory Pork Wonton Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Pork Wonton Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and whisk together the rice wine and cornstarch until you achieve a smooth consistency.

2. Step 2

   Next, add in the ground pork, along with 2 tablespoons of finely chopped green onion, soy sauce, minced ginger, sesame oil, and a sprinkle of sugar.

3. Step 3

   Mix everything together until it forms a paste-like texture, which should take about 10 minutes of good mixing.

4. Step 4

   Once combined, cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour.

5. Step 5

   This resting time is essential as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s get to the fun part—assembling the wontons! Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture right in the center.

7. Step 7

   To seal it, brush the edges with a bit of beaten egg and pinch them together, creating a delightful little pouch.

8. Step 8

   Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture, and don’t forget to refrigerate the filled wontons until you’re ready to cook them.

9. Step 9

   While the wontons are chilling, set up a steamer insert in a saucepan and fill it with water, making sure it’s just below the bottom of the steamer.

10. Step 10

    Bring the water to a boil, and then toss in the sliced bok choy, sugar snap peas, and carrot, along with 2 tablespoons of green onion.

11. Step 11

    Cover the pot and steam the vegetables until they’re tender, which should take about 2 to 6 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, carefully remove the veggies and distribute them evenly among four soup bowls.

13. Step 13

    Next, it’s time to steam the wontons! Place them in the steamer basket and let them cook until the pork is no longer pink inside, which should take around 10 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Once they’re ready, gently transfer the wontons into the soup bowls alongside the vibrant steamed vegetables.

15. Step 15

    In a separate saucepan, heat up the chicken broth and water until it’s nice and hot, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

16. Step 16

    Pour this warm broth mixture evenly over the vegetables and wontons in each bowl.

17. Step 17

    To finish off this delicious creation, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped green onion on top of each bowl for a fresh burst of flavor.
