Ingredients

Scale

For the Wontons

  • ½ lb ground pork

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

  • 1 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper

  • 1 (12 oz) package wonton wrappers

For the Soup

  • 10 cups unsalted chicken stock

  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced

  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 4 scallions, roughly chopped

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • Pinch of white pepper

  • Thinly sliced scallions for serving

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Wonton Filling
In a bowl, combine ground pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.

2️⃣ Fill the Wontons
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
Brush the edges lightly with water, fold into a triangle, pressing out any air.
Moisten the bottom corners, bring them together, and pinch to seal.

3️⃣ Keep Moist
Place shaped wontons on a tray covered with a towel so they don’t dry out.
Repeat until all filling is used.

4️⃣ Make the Broth
In a large pot, add chicken stock, ginger slices, garlic cloves, chopped scallions, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper.
Bring to a boil → cover → reduce heat → simmer 10 minutes.
Remove and discard aromatics.

5️⃣ Cook the Wontons
Bring a separate large pot of water to a boil.
Add only the number of wontons you plan to serve.
Boil 4 minutes, until they float.

6️⃣ Assemble & Serve
Place cooked wontons into bowls. Ladle hot broth over top and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately!

Notes

  • Swap pork for ground chicken or shrimp for a lighter variation

  • Add bok choy or mushrooms to the broth for extra veggies

  • Ensure wontons are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage

  • Use low-sodium broth so seasoning stays balanced
