Wonton Soup

Ingredients

Wontons

• 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
• 24 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers

Soup

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

Directions

1. Make the wontons: Mix pork, shrimp, rice wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, green onions, and ginger together in a large bowl until well combined. Let stand for 25 to 30 minutes.
2. Spoon about 1 teaspoon filling onto the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten all four wrapper edges with water and fold over filling to make a triangle; press the edges firmly to seal. Bring left and right corners together above filling; overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water, and press together to seal. Repeat until all wrappers have been filled and sealed.
3. Make the soup: Bring chicken stock to a rolling boil in a pot. Gently drop in wontons and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions.
