Ingredients
  

For the wontons:

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ lb ground beef or chicken
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp white or black pepper
  • 20-25 wonton wrappers

For the soup broth:

  • 6 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 inch fresh ginger sliced
  • 2-3 green onions chopped
  • 1-2 baby bok choy chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef or chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add garlic, ginger, green onions, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center. Moisten edges with water, fold into a triangle, pressing edges tightly to seal. Bring the two bottom corners together and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger slices, and green onions.
    Optional: add bok choy, simmer on low for 10-15 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Carefully drop wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove ginger slices before serving for a smoother texture.
  • Ladle soup into bowls, ensuring each bowl has several wontons. Garnish with green onions or bok choy if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
