Ingredients:
Serves 2
For the Broth
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 2-3 slices ginger
- 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 green onions (whites ends), cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chicken powder
- Salt and white pepper, to taste
For the Wontons (makes around 40 depending on wonton packet size)
- 500g mince pork (or minced chicken or shrimp)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp cornstarch or an egg
- 1 package wonton wrappers
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped green onions
- Fresh coriander
- Sliced chili or a dash of chili oil
Steps:
- In a pot, bring the stock to a boil with ginger, garlic, and green onions stalks. Simmer with lid on for 10-15 minutes to infuse. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Remove aromatics.
- In a bowl, combine minced pork, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and cornstarch/egg. Mix until well-blended with a pair of chopsticks in a circular motion.
- Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half lengthways to form a rectangle, then bring the two corners together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Bring a separate pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the wontons and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Transfer cooked wontons to bowls. Pour hot broth over the wontons. Garnish with green onions, coriander, and chili if desired.
