Savory Wonton Soup

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

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and whisk together the white sugar, cornstarch, oyster sauce, and a tablespoon of sesame oil until everything is well blended.

2. Step 2

   Next, add in the ground pork, diced shrimp, and one chopped green onion, mixing thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly combined.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s get to the fun part—assembling the wontons! Take a wonton wrapper and lay it flat in front of you, resembling a baseball diamond.

4. Step 4

   With your finger, gently brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg to help seal it later.

5. Step 5

   Place about a tablespoon of your delicious pork and shrimp mixture right in the center of the wrapper.

6. Step 6

   Now, fold the wrapper from the 'home run' corner to the '2nd base' corner, forming a triangle with the filling nestled at the bottom.

7. Step 7

   Press down firmly to seal it.

8. Step 8

   Next, brush the egg mixture on the '1st base' and '3rd base' corners, then fold them over the filling and each other, creating a neat little package.

9. Step 9

   Finally, brush the egg mixture on the '2nd base/homerun' corner and fold it behind the filling to secure the wonton.

10. Step 10

    Keep repeating this process until all your filling and wrappers are used up, and don’t forget to cover the finished wontons with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.

11. Step 11

    Now, let’s move on to the broth! In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, two tablespoons of sesame oil, and two chopped green onions.

12. Step 12

    Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.

13. Step 13

    After that, toss in the chopped bok choy and bring it back to a boil until the bok choy is tender, which should take around five minutes.

14. Step 14

    While the broth is simmering, bring another large pot of salted water to a boil.

15. Step 15

    Carefully add the wontons to the pot and cook them for three to five minutes, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together.

16. Step 16

    When everything is ready, it’s time to serve! Place the cooked wontons in a cozy soup bowl and ladle the hot, fragrant broth over them.

17. Step 17

    For a finishing touch, sprinkle some additional chopped green onions on top if you like.
