Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the ground pork (or other meat), finely chopped shrimp (if using), minced ginger, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, sugar, and egg white.
- Mix everything together until the mixture becomes sticky and well-combined.
2. Assemble the Wontons:
- Take one wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water and fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or a pouch.
- Press the edges tightly to seal the wonton. You can also shape them into traditional “purse” style by folding the corners together.
- Repeat until all the filling is used.
3. Make the Broth:
- In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
- Add the ginger slices, dried shiitake mushrooms (if using), soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine (optional), white pepper, and salt.
- Simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the mushrooms and ginger slices after simmering.
4. Cook the Wontons:
- Gently add the wontons to the boiling broth in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Once the wontons float to the surface (about 3-5 minutes), they are cooked through. You can check by cutting one open to ensure the filling is fully cooked.
- Carefully remove the wontons from the broth and set them aside.
5. Assemble the Soup:
- Place a few wontons in each serving bowl.
- Pour the hot broth over the wontons.
- Add garnishes such as chopped green onions, bok choy, a drizzle of chili oil (optional), and fresh coriander leaves for added flavor.
Serving:
- Serve the Wonton Soup hot as an appetizer or main dish. Enjoy!
