Ingredients

  • 32  wonton wrappers (8 per serving)

Wonton Dumpling Filling

  • 8 oz lean ground pork
  • 1 tbsp ginger , finely grated (1.5″ / 3cm piece), or 2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (5 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Miran Rice Wine
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

Broth

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 cm piece of ginger, sliced (optional, but highly recommended)
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 3 tbsp Miran Rice wine
  • ¼ – ½ tsp sesame oil

To Serve

  • Green onions, finely chopped
  • Bok choy, quartered, or Chinese broccoli cut into 10cm /4″ lengths

Directions

Wontons
  1. Place Filling ingredients in a bowl. Use a potato masher to mash until fairly smooth. 
Wrapping
  1. Lay Wontons on work surface. Use 2 teaspoons to put the Filling on the wontons. Work in batches so that the wontons do not dry out. Brush 2 edges with water. Fold to seal, pressing out air. Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal.
  2. Place wrapped wontons into a container with a lid as you work (so they don’t dry out).
Broth
  1. Place Broth ingredients in a saucepan over high heat. Add white ends of green onions if leftover from Wonton filling.
  2. Place lid on, bring to boil then reduce to medium-high and simmer for 5 – 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Pick garlic and ginger out before using the broth.
  3. Blanch bok choy in the soup broth (30-45 seconds) and place in serving bowls.
Cooking Dumplings and serving

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Place wontons in water and cook for 4 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon straight into serving bowls. Ladle broth over wonton dumplings and vegetables.
