Ingredients

24 wonton wrappers
6 oz ground pork
8 medium shrimp, ground
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
1 tsp light brown sugar
6 cups chicken stock
Chicken breast, sliced
Fresh spinach
1 tsp scallions, finely chopped
Mushrooms and water chestnuts (optional)
Sesame oil and white pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ground shrimp, chopped ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, and light brown sugar. Mix well to create the filling.
Step 2: Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold the wrappers to seal, and press firmly to close.
Step 3: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a pot. Gently add the wontons and cook for 4–5 minutes until they float to the surface.
Step 4: Add sliced chicken breast, fresh spinach, and optional mushrooms or water chestnuts to the pot. Cook until chicken is fully cooked and spinach wilts.
Step 5: Season the soup with sesame oil and white pepper to taste. Garnish with finely chopped scallions and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Use ground chicken or turkey instead of pork for a leaner filling option.
For extra flavor, add a splash of fish sauce or a pinch of chili flakes to the filling mixture.
Try adding bamboo shoots or snow peas for additional texture and freshness.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the wontons. The soup is best enjoyed fresh as wontons may become softer upon reheating.

How to Serve

A white bowl filled with clear yellow broth contains soft, folded dumplings that are light beige in color with smooth, slightly wrinkled texture. Bright green chopped scallions and pieces of celery float on top of the dumplings and in the broth. A white ceramic spoon is lifting one dumpling, showing its tender and shiny surface. The bowl is placed on a rustic wooden table with a white marbled texture background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze wontons before cooking?

Yes, you can freeze assembled wontons on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the boiling time.

What can I use if I don’t have rice wine?

Dry sherry is a great substitute for rice wine in this recipe. Alternatively, a mild white wine or apple cider vinegar mixed with a bit of water can work in a pinch.
