Ingredients
- ¼ lb pork, ground
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 count round wonton wrappers
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, mix the ground pork, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves together with a fork until evenly combined, breaking up any clumps.
- 2
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
- 3
Spoon 1 teaspoon of the pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
- 4
Dip your finger in water and wet the two side edges of the diamond (not the top and bottom points).
- 5
Fold the bottom corner of the diamond up and over the filling to meet the top corner, creating a triangle with a small edge of wrapper showing around the filling.
- 6
Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together underneath the filling and press them firmly together so they stick, forming a little tortellini shape.
- 7
Repeat filling and folding with the remaining wrappers and filling until all 16 wontons are sealed.
- 8
Pour the 4 cups of chicken broth into a medium pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat, about 5 minutes.
- 9
Carefully drop all 16 wontons into the boiling broth one at a time.
- 10
Let the broth return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the wontons float and the filling is cooked through.
- 11
Taste a spoonful of broth; add salt and pepper as needed.
- 12
Ladle the soup and wontons into two bowls, dividing them evenly.
- 13
Scatter the chopped green onions over the top of each bowl.
