Ingredients
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce for filling
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil for filling
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic whole
- 2 slices fresh ginger about ¼-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce for broth
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil for broth
- 2 green onions sliced, for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl add pork, green onions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well to combine.
Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little bit of water and fold in half to create a triangle. Moisten the two longer tips, bring them together, and press.
Dip the bottom in a bit of flour and place on a parchment lined pan. Repeat with the remaining wontons.
In a large pot, add the broth, garlic, sliced ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
Remove and discard the garlic and ginger.
Add the wontons to the soup and simmer for an additional 4-6 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Serve immediately.
