Ingredients
Wontons
- 4 ounces medium or large shrimp peeled, deveined & finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 14 wonton wrappers
Broth
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- 6 baby bok choy cut in quarters
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the wonton ingredients except for the wonton wrappers. Mix until the filling becomes sticky in the bowl.
Easy Wonton Wrapping
- Place a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Add a heaping teaspoon of filling to the center and wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water.
- Fold it in half to create a rectangle, seal the edges, then wet one of the creased corners.
- Bring the creased corners to the center.
- Pinch the corners to connect. Repeat for remaining filling and wontons.
- At this point, you can cook them immediately or freeze them to cook later. To freeze them, place wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet (making sure they’re not touching). Freeze for a few hours then transfer them to a Ziplock bag or airtight container.
Make Broth
- Heat a large pot on medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of oil then saute garlic and ginger for a few seconds, until soft and fragrant.
- Add soy sauce along the edges of the pot to create a char, then add fish sauce and Shaoxing wine. Stir together for a couple of seconds then increase heat to medium-high. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a rolling boil.
- Pour in the sesame oil, stir, then turn the heat to low and cover to keep warm.
Cook & Assemble the Wonton Soup
- In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil on medium-high heat. Blanch baby bok choy by cooking them in the hot water for about 1 minute, or until they’re slightly tender but still crunchy. Quickly remove them then submerge them in cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In the same pot of boiling water, add in about half the wontons to prevent overcrowding. Immediately stir the pot to prevent them from sticking. Cook for about 3 - 4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Quickly remove them and finish cooking the remaining dumplings.
- To assemble, divide the bok choy and wontons into two serving bowls, pour the broth on top, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Protein: If you're not in the mood for shrimp, you can use ground chicken, ground pork, or a combination of proteins!
- Cooking the Wontons: It's important to cook the wontons separately from the broth, otherwise, the broth will turn thick and cloudy from the starches on the wonton wrappers.
