Wonton Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 ounces ground pork
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 24 square (3½ inches each) wonton wrappers
• 6 cups (1,440g) chicken broth
• 1½ teaspoons garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2-3 green onions, finely chopped

Preparation

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, brown sugar, and finely chopped green onions. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated.
2. Assemble the Wontons: Place approximately 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper to form a triangle, pressing out any excess air. Lift the long edge slightly and fold the corners toward each other, pressing firmly to seal. If necessary, moisten the edges to ensure a secure seal. Repeat this process for all wonton wrappers and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Soup: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the chicken broth, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and finely chopped green onions. Heat the mixture until it simmers.
4. Cook the Wontons: In a separate large pot, bring approximately 4 quarts of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the prepared wontons and cook for about 5 minutes. After cooking, strain the wontons and add them to the simmering broth mixture.
5. Serve: Serve the wonton soup warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
