Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the filling for the wontons.
- 2
Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to create a triangle, then seal tightly by pressing the edges together. Repeat until all the filling is used.
- 3
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium heat.
- 4
Carefully add the wontons to the boiling broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the top and are cooked through.
- 5
Add the egg noodles and bok choy to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender.
- 6
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- 7
Ladle the soup into bowls, and drizzle with chili oil if desired. Serve hot.
Tips
Ensure the wonton wrappers are covered while you work to prevent them from drying out.
