Wonton Soup

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp cooking oil
• 2 small shallots, sliced or chopped
• 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 inch ginger, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 4 baby bok choy, halved
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp rice or white vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 20-25 fresh or frozen wontons, dumplings, or potstickers
• scallions, sliced (green parts only for garnish)
• Chili oil or chili crisp, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a soup pot and sauté shallots, ginger and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add in shiitake mushrooms and sauté for a couple of minutes.
2. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Simmer for a couple of minutes over medium high heat.
3. Add the bok choy and partially cook 2-3 minutes, then add the frozen wontons and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they float and the bok choy is wilted, but still has a little crunch. Taste and adjust soy sauce and vinegar to your taste.
4. Serve the broth in bowls with wontons and bok choy, and garnish with scallions and chili oil.
