The Novice Chef

This easy Wonton Soup is a cozy Chinese soup recipe made with Homemade Pork Dumplings floating in a clear and flavorful, Asian-style broth.

Ingredients

8 cups low sodium chicken stock (or bone broth)

2 inch piece of peeled ginger (cut into large slices)

3 garlic cloves (smashed)

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste)

1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine (or rice wine)

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

4 green onions (sliced)

36 Homemade Chinese Dumplings

baby bok choy (quartered)

Chinese broccoli (sliced into pieces)

baby spinach leaves

green onions (for garnish)

Method

In a large stock pot, combine chicken stock, ginger, garlic cloves, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and green onions.

Place lid on the pot and bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let cook for 10-15 minutes.

While the broth simmers, cook your wontons. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the wontons to the pot in batches, about 12 wontons at a time.

Boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until the dumplings float to the top and are slightly translucent. Remove with slotted spoon and place straight into serving bowls.

Strain out the chunky garlic and ginger from the broth and discard both.

If using any optional vegetables (like baby bok choy), blanch in the soup broth and place in serving bowl.

Ladle hot broth over the wontons. Let stand for 2-3 and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.
