Instructions:
Prepare the Wonton Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Assemble the Wontons:
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Moisten the edges with water, fold in half to form a triangle, and press to seal. Alternatively, use different folding techniques.
Prepare the Soup Base:
In a large pot, bring chicken or vegetable broth to a boil.
Add ginger slices, smashed garlic, and green onion pieces. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavors. Remove aromatics before serving.
Season the Broth:
Season the broth with salt and white pepper to taste.
Cook the Wontons:
Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add wontons and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and place directly into serving bowls.
Add Greens and Finish Soup:
Add chopped bok choy or greens to the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
Serve:
Ladle hot broth and greens over cooked wontons in serving bowls.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
