Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 200g chicken breast, minced
- 100g wonton wrappers
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh bok choy for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken filling by mixing minced chicken breast with minced ginger, half of the chopped green onions, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Ensure ingredients are well combined.
- Place a small amount of chicken mixture (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten wrapper edges with water and fold into a triangle, then bring the two bottom corners together to create a classic wonton shape.
- In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Add soy sauce and stir to incorporate flavors.
- Carefully drop prepared wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until wontons float and chicken is fully cooked.
- While wontons are cooking, quickly blanch bok choy in a separate pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
- Ladle hot broth and wontons into serving bowls. Top with blanched bok choy and remaining fresh green onions.
- Serve immediately while hot, offering additional soy sauce on the side for personal seasoning preference.
Tips
- Wonton Wrapping Wisdom: Keep your wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out while you're preparing the filling.
- Filling Finesse: Ensure your chicken filling is well-seasoned and finely minced for the most delicate texture. Don't overfill the wontons, or they might burst during cooking.
- Broth Brilliance: For an extra flavor boost, consider using homemade chicken broth or adding a splash of sesame oil to enhance the depth of taste.
- Freshness Matters: Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the bok choy and green onions, to maximize flavor and nutritional value.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the wontons at their most tender and the broth at its most flavorful.
