Instructions

  • To make wontons: In large bowl, mix ground pork, shrimp, scallions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt and pepper.
  • One wonton wrapper at a time, brush edges of two sides of wrapper with water. Add 1-2 teaspoons filling to center. Fold wrapper corner to corner so two wet edges meet two dry edges, creating triangle shape.
  • Press sides together to seal. Take two corners of triangle and join with water to create purse-like shape. Press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • To make soup: In saucepan over high heat, stir broth, ginger, soy sauce, wine and sesame oil. Bring mixture to simmer.
  • Cover pot and turn down heat, simmering 10-12 minutes.
  • Add bok choy leaves, shrimp and scallions. Cook until shrimp are pink and heated through.
  • In separate saucepan, heat water to boil.
  • Drop in wontons in small batches and cook until floating, 5-7 minutes.
  • Transfer cooked wontons to bowls along with shrimp and bok choy from soup pot. Ladle broth, as desired, into bowls.
