Ingredients

For the Wontons:

  • ½ pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 24 wonton wrappers square-shaped, about 3½ inches

For the Soup:

  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2½ tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 –3 green onions finely chopped
  • 3 baby bok choy halved lengthwise

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Wontons

  • Mix the Filling: Combine chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and green onions in a bowl. Stir until well blended.
  • Assemble Wontons:
  • Place wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each.
  • Moisten the edges with water and fold into a triangle, pressing out air.
  • Bring the side corners together and seal with a dab of water to create the classic wonton shape.
  • Let the wontons rest while preparing the broth.

Step 2: Make the Soup

  • Simmer the Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken broth, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Bring to a boil.
  • Add bok choy and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Wontons

  • In a separate pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.
  • Gently add wontons, stirring to avoid sticking. Once they float, cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Drain and add to the hot broth.
