For Assembly & Serving:
1 package (about 12 oz / 350g) square wonton wrappers
Additional green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Optional: Bok choy, baby spinach, or your favorite greens
Instructions
Part 1: Make the Broth (The Foundation)
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, smashed garlic cloves, and ginger slices.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for at least 20-30 minutes. The longer it simmers, the more infused the flavor becomes.
Just before you’re ready to serve, remove the garlic and ginger slices with a slotted spoon. Stir in the soy sauce, mirin (if using), and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and a pinch of white pepper. Keep the broth warm over low heat.
Part 2: Make the Wonton Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, sliced green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and white pepper.
Using your hands or a fork, mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the filling tough.
