Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
  • 1 package square wonton wrappers (about 50)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Method
 

  1. Combine ground chicken, ginger, garlic, white parts of scallions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Place a scant tablespoon of filling onto each wrapper. Seal with water into triangles, then bring corners together and pinch. Set on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Bring chicken broth to a gentle boil. Stir in remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, and remaining 1/2 tsp sesame oil. Taste and add salt if needed.
  4. Cook wontons in simmering broth in two batches until they float, about 4 minutes, then 1 minute more. Add bok choy for the last minute. Ladle into bowls and top with scallion greens.

Notes

Uncooked wontons freeze beautifully. Lay them in a single layer on a tray, freeze until hard, then bag them. Cook straight from frozen, adding about 2 minutes. This recipe makes more wrappers than you need for one batch; seal up the rest and keep them chilled for another meal.
