Ingredients
Wonton Filling
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 4 green onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 egg white
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 30 wonton wrappers
Soup
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 4 cups mixed vegetables such as carrots, celery, broccoli, and bok choy, divided*
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 24 medium shrimp thawed, peeled and deveined
Instructions
Wontons
- In a large bowl, combine pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, egg white, and cornstarch. Use your hands to mix well.
- Open the wonton wrappers and cover them with plastic wrap so they don't dry out. Working with 2 to 3 wrappers at a time, lay them out on a flat surface.
- Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in a little bit of water and lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Moisten the two longer tips and bring together. Press together.
- Place the wontons on a parchment lined pan (or dip the bottom side in a little bit of flour to keep it from sticking). Repeat with remaining wontons.
Cup of Yum
For the Soup
- Bring broth to a boil. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and firmer vegetables like carrots and celery. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add in wontons, bok choy, and broccoli and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, adding the shrimp in the last 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in the remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
Notes
- Divide the vegetables into firmer and softer veggies. Add the firmer veggies like carrots and celery first. Add the softer vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or bok choy later.
