For the Broth:

6 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 green onions, chopped

½ teaspoon white pepper (optional)

Salt, to taste

For the Wontons:

25–30 store-bought or homemade wonton wrappers

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

1 green onion, finely chopped

½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, combine ground meat (chicken, pork, or shrimp), soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, sugar, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Assemble Wontons:

Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold diagonally to form a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two corners together and press again to form the classic wonton shape.

Make the Broth:

In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce, and bring to a boil.

Cook the Wontons:

Gently add the wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 5–7 minutes or until they float to the top and the meat is cooked through.

Finish and Serve:

Add chopped green onions, adjust seasoning with salt or more soy sauce, and serve hot.
