Ingredients

• For the wontons:
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 36 wonton wrappers
• For the broth:
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 slices ginger
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• For serving:
• 2 cups baby bok choy, sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal the wonton. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
3. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the smashed garlic, ginger slices, chopped green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
4. While the broth is simmering, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the wontons and cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the top and are cooked through. Remove the cooked wontons from the pot with a slotted spoon.
5. Add the baby bok choy and sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. To serve, divide the cooked wontons among serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth with vegetables over the wontons. Garnish with chopped cilantro and drizzle with sesame oil, if desired.
7. Enjoy this homemade wonton soup while it's hot!
