How To Make wonton soup

  • Step 1
    In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except wrappers with a fork; use quickly hand to finish it – DON’T overwork it. Place a plastic wrap, touching the meat, and transfer to the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Step 2
    In a 3-quart pot over medium-low, combine broth, sugar, oil, soy sauce, pepper, ginger and garlic. In a large pot, boil water for the wontons.
  • Step 3
    Meantime make wontons: use the floured side for the filling (1 heaping tsp) and dab little water along the edges; fold. To test if seasoning is right, place a couple wontons in boiling water before continuing with the folding. When they start floating on the surface, they are done, about 4-5 minutes. Scoop them with a spider strainer and taste; adjust if necessary. Finish the rest and cook in boiling water.
  • Step 4
    Bring broth to a boil and if adding bok choy to the soup, place them in broth for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, drain and place 1 to 2 bok choy at the bottom of each serving bowl; set aside.
  • Step 5
    Place 6 wontons per bowl over boy choy if using any; set aside. Just before pouring broth over in each bowl, remove and discard pieces of ginger and garlic. Add green onion, (green parts) and quickly stir. Pour 2 to 3 ladles of broth to each bowl and serve immediately. Makes 24 wonton wrappers (4 servings)
