Wonton Soup
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
1/2
cup finely chopped cabbage
8
ounces lean ground pork
4
ounces deveined shelled shrimp, finely chopped
3
green onions with tops, finely chopped
1
egg, lightly beaten
1-1/2
tablespoons cornstarch
2
teaspoons soy sauce
1
teaspoon oyster sauce
2
teaspoons sesame oil, divided
48
wonton wrappers (about 1 pound)
1
egg white, lightly beaten
3/4
pound bok choy or napa cabbage
6
cups chicken broth
3
green onions with tops, thinly sliced
Edible flowers for garnish
Preparation:
1.
For filling, squeeze cabbage to remove as much moisture as possible. Place cabbage in large bowl. Add pork, shrimp, chopped onions, whole egg, cornstarch, soy sauce, oyster sauce and 1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil; mix well.
2.
For wontons, work with about twelve wrappers at a time, keeping remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap. Place one wonton wrapper on work surface with one point facing you. Place 1 teaspoon filling in bottom corner; fold bottom corner over filling.
3.
Moisten side corners of wonton wrapper with egg white. Bring side corners together, overlapping slightly; pinch together firmly to seal. Cover finished wontons with plastic wrap while filling remaining wontons. (Cook immediately, refrigerate up to 8 hours or freeze in resealable bag.)
4.
Cut bok choy stems into 1-inch slices; cut leaves in half crosswise. Set aside.
5.
Add wontons to large pot of boiling water; cook until filling is no longer pink, about 4 minutes (6 minutes if frozen); drain. Place in bowl of cold water to prevent wontons from sticking together.
6.
Bring chicken broth to a boil in large saucepan. Add bok choy and remaining 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil; simmer 2 minutes. Drain wontons; add to hot broth. Add slices of Barbecued Pork and sliced onions. Ladle into soup bowls. Serve immediately. Garnish, if desired.
