A cozy and easy-to-make wonton soup featuring juicy pork-filled wontons, savory ginger-garlic broth, and tender-crisp bok choy. Perfect for family dinners or a comforting meal on chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (lean but juicy preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (Kikkoman recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • About 40 wonton wrappers (fresh or frozen)
  • 6 cups chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 3 thin slices ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 2 medium heads bok choy, washed and trimmed
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, fresh cilantro leaves, chili oil or flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wonton filling by combining ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently until sticky and well combined.
  2. Wrap the wontons: lay a wrapper flat, moisten edges with water, place about 1 teaspoon filling in center, fold diagonally to form a triangle, seal edges firmly, then bring opposite corners together and pinch to form wonton shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Prepare the broth: in a large pot, bring chicken broth to a gentle boil with ginger slices and minced garlic. Reduce to simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Season with soy sauce, salt, and white pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  4. Cook wontons and bok choy: drop wontons into simmering broth in batches, cook 4-5 minutes until they float and feel tender. Add bok choy during last 2 minutes to become bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Serve soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions, cilantro, or chili oil if desired.

Notes

Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Do not overmix wonton filling to avoid toughness. Moisten wonton wrapper edges well to seal properly. Simmer broth gently to keep it clear. Cook wontons in small batches to prevent sticking. Add bok choy at the end to keep it crisp. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; freeze wontons and broth separately for best texture.
