Wonton Soup

Here’s a classic Wonton Soup 🍜
Warm, comforting, and surprisingly simple.

Ingredients

Wontons

• 250 g / ½ lb ground pork (or chicken)

• 1 green onion (finely chopped)

• 1 tsp soy sauce

• ½ tsp sesame oil

• 1 clove garlic (minced)

• ½ tsp grated ginger

• Wonton wrappers

Soup

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1 tsp soy sauce

• ½ tsp sesame oil

• Optional: sliced mushrooms, bok choy, or spinach

Instructions

1. Make the filling

   • Mix pork, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

2. Fill wontons

   • Place 1 tsp filling in the center of each wrapper.

   • Wet edges with water, fold, and seal well.

3. Cook wontons

   • Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil.

   • Add wontons and cook 3–4 minutes until they float.

4. Prepare soup

   • Heat chicken broth with soy sauce and sesame oil.

   • Add vegetables if using; simmer briefly.

5. Serve

   • Place cooked wontons in bowls and ladle hot broth over them.

Tips

• Don’t overfill wontons—they seal better.

• You can freeze uncooked wontons and cook straight from frozen.

• Add chili oil at the table for heat.
