wonton soup

Ingredients:

WONTONS

• 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

SOUP

• 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:

WONTONS

• In a large bowl combine pork, rice wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, and onion. Mix well.
• Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling into the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Moisten edges with water and fold the corners together, pressing out any excess air. (It should look like a triangle).
• Slightly lift the long edge of the wonton. Wrap the edges in the opposite directions and press firmly to seal, using your finger to create a space and wetting the edges as needed.
• Continue with the rest of the wontons and let them rest while you prepare the soup.

SOUP

• In a medium pot over medium heat add chicken broth, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions.
• In a separate large pot, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add wontons and cook for 5 minutes.
• Strain the wontons and add them to the warm broth mixture. Serve warm.

Enjoy !
