Step-by-Step Instructions for Wonton Soup
- Prepare the Filling: Mix the pork or shrimp with minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl until uniform and slightly sticky, about 3–5 minutes.
- Assemble the Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a dry surface, add about a teaspoon of the filling, moisten edges with water, fold in half, and seal tightly.
- Prepare the Broth: Pour 6 cups of broth into a large pot, bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Wontons: Carefully add the wontons to the simmering broth and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until they float. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
- Serve the Soup: Remove from heat and ladle the soup into bowls, garnished with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
Properly sealing the wontons prevents bursting. Cook in batches for even cooking. Fresh wrappers yield the best texture and flavor.
