wonton soup

Ingredients

• 8 ounces dried wonton wrappers
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot.
2. While the broth is heating, gently warm the wonton wrappers in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30-60 seconds per sheet, until pliable. Be careful not to overheat and burn them.
3. Working with one wrapper at a time, drop a warmed wonton into the boiling broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
4. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and white pepper to the soup.
5. Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.

Notes

• For extra flavor, add a small piece of ginger or a garlic clove to the broth while simmering.
• To prevent the wontons from sticking together, gently separate them with tongs.
• Wonton soup is best served immediately.
• You can freeze leftover wonton soup for up to 2 days. Thaw completely before reheating.
