Easy Wonton Soup
Description
This easy wonton soup is perfect as written, but it's also nice to customize by adding things like mushrooms, celery, bok choy, spinach, and shrimp.
Ingredients
•
1 pound ground pork
•
2 green onions, minced
•
1 large egg, beaten
•
2 teaspoons hot sauce
•
ground black pepper to taste
•
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
•
2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
•
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
•
5 green onions, sliced
•
1 dash soy sauce, or to taste
Directions
1
Make the wontons: Mix pork, green onions, egg, hot sauce, and pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2
Place a heaping teaspoon pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water. Fold the bottom point to the top point, creating a triangle, and pinch to seal. Fold the outer two points in toward the center and pinch together. Repeat to form remaining wontons.
3
Make the soup: Pour chicken broth into a pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add grated ginger, then add wontons; cook until wontons float to the surface, about 6 minutes.
4
Garnish each bowl with green onions and soy sauce.
