wonton soup

### 👩‍🍳 **Instructions**

#### 1. **Make the Wonton Filling**

In a bowl, mix the ground pork (or chosen protein), chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and white pepper. Stir until well combined.

#### 2. **Assemble the Wontons**

Place a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press the edges to seal. Bring the two outer corners together and pinch to form a “boat” shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

#### 3. **Prepare the Broth**

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If adding vegetables like bok choy or mushrooms, toss them in now.

#### 4. **Cook the Wontons**

Gently drop wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until they float and the filling is cooked through.

#### 5. **Serve**

Ladle soup into bowls, making sure to include plenty of broth and wontons in each. Garnish with chopped green onions or a drizzle of chili oil if desired.

### 💡 **Tips & Variations**

* **Make it spicy:** Add chili garlic oil or a dash of white pepper for a heat boost.
* **Vegetarian option:** Use tofu or mushrooms for the filling and vegetable broth for the soup.
* **Batch & freeze:** Uncooked wontons can be frozen on a tray, then stored in a bag for future use. No thawing needed—just cook from frozen.
