Ingredients

Wontons:

  • 24 3.5-inch square wonton wrappers
  • ½ pound boneless pork loin coarsely chopped
  • 2 ounces peeled shrimp finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root

Soup:

  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients and ensure they are prepped and ready for assembly.

Making the Wontons:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pork, shrimp, rice wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, green onions, and ginger. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Allow the mixture to marinate for 25 to 30 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  • Place a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center. Lightly moisten all four edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it diagonally over the filling to create a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
  • Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together above the filling, slightly overlapping them. Dab a small amount of water where the tips meet and press gently to secure the shape. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers until all wontons are assembled.

Preparing the Soup:

  • In a medium pot, bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling broth, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers turn translucent and the filling is fully cooked.
  • Ladle the hot soup with wontons into serving bowls and garnish with freshly chopped green onions. Serve immediately for a comforting, flavorful dish.
