Wonton Soup
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 24 square (3½ inches each) wonton wrappers
- 6 cups (1,440g) chicken broth
- 1½ teaspoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2-3 green onions, finely chopped
Preparation:
In a large bowl combine pork, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, and onion. Mix well. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water and fold the corners together, pressing out any excess air. (It should look like a triangle). Slightly lift the long edge of the wonton. Wrap the edges in the opposite directions and press firmly to seal, using your finger to create a space and wetting the edges as needed. Continue with the rest of the wontons and let them rest while you prepare the soup.
In a medium pot over medium heat add chicken broth, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. In a separate large pot, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add wontons and cook for 5 minutes. Strain the wontons and add them to the warm broth mixture. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
