If you’re after a comforting soup with an oriental style, this recipe is a winner. Once cooked, the clear broth, tender dumplings, and greens come together for a fresh taste.
If you want to cut steps and time, pick up chicken broth with ginger or garlic already infused. However, nothing quite beats customizing your chicken broth to personal taste. In this recipe, we use ginger, garlic, and green onion to add extra flavor.
As you’re cooking, the smell will fill your kitchen. However, don’t get distracted and walk away, as your wontons will cook incredibly fast.
Explore the ingredients and cooking steps below for our pork-filled wonton soup recipe.
Wonton Soup Ingredients
- 8 oz of ground pork (cooked)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 6 cups of chicken broth
- 4 slices of fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 green onions, sliced
- A handful of baby spinach, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, or to taste
Wonton Soup Instructions
- Mix the cooked ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined.
- Set up a small cup of water.
- Place a wonton wrapper on your hand, add about 1 teaspoon filling.
- Wet the edges, then fold and press to seal. Keep going until you’ve used the filling.
- In a pot, bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Add ginger slices, smashed garlic, and the larger pieces of green onion. Simmer 10 minutes so the broth picks up flavor.
- Stir in soy sauce. Taste the broth now as it’s easier to adjust before the wontons go in.
- Drop in the wontons in small batches so they don’t stick.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, until they float and the filling is cooked through.
- Add bok choy or spinach and cook for 1 minute, just until wilted.
- Finish with sesame oil.
- Ladle into bowls, then top with extra sliced green onion if you want.
