Ingredients

• ½ lb ground pork
• ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 40 wonton wrappers
• 6 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 egg white
• ¼ tsp white pepper (optional)

Steps

1. Finely chop the shrimp. In a bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, 2 sliced scallions, grated ginger, minced garlic, cornstarch, egg white, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well.
2. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold into desired wonton shape, pressing to seal.

4. Carefully add the wontons to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until wontons float and are cooked through. If using, add bok choy during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
5. Ladle the wonton soup into bowls. Garnish with the remaining sliced scallions and a dash of white pepper, if desired. Serve hot.
