    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • ½ tsp grated ginger
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 green onion, finely chopped
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp white pepper
    • 1 tsp cornstarch
    • 20-25 wonton wrappers

Instructions

  • Prepare the Wontons: In a bowl, mix pork (or shrimp), soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
  • Fill and Fold: Place a small amount of filling in each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and seal tightly. Optionally, fold the corners inward.

  • Combine & Serve: Add cooked wontons to the soup, top with sliced green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use store-bought wonton wrappers for convenience.
  • Swap pork for shrimp or chicken for a different flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning based on personal preference.
  • Freeze extra wontons for later use.
