Ingredients
  

For the Wontons:

200g ground pork

100g shrimp, peeled and finely chopped

1 green onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon white pepper

1 pack wonton wrappers

For the Soup:

6 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon scallions, sliced

1 cup bok choy, roughly chopped

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Optional: chili oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

    Wrap the Wontons: Take a wonton wrapper, place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center, and wet the edges with a little water. Fold the wrapper over to create a triangle and press to seal. Bring the two corners of the triangle together and pinch to secure, creating a little bundle. Repeat until all filling is used.

      Make the Soup Base: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped bok choy. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the bok choy is tender.

        Cook the Wontons: Gently add the prepared wontons to the broth. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and are cooked through.

          Final Touches: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with sliced scallions and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with chili oil if desired for some heat.

            Serve: Enjoy your silky shrimp and pork wonton soup hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
