Wonton Soup - chicken broth

Method

• In a large sauce pan, add the chicken broth, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and ginger. Bring the contents to a boil and then cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the scallions, ginger, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil, fish sauce, cornstarch, black pepper, and pork. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are incorporated.
• Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil.
• Cover the stack of wonton wrappers with a damp paper towel and prepare a small bowl of water for sealing the wrappers. Working with one wrapper at a time, place 1 level teaspoon of pork filling in the center. Dip a finger in the water and lightly wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold in-half and slightly flatten out the filling. Fold over again forming a narrow rectangle (it doesn't have to be exactly in-half if the filling doesn't allow for it). Then bring the top corners of the ends together, wet the corners, and press to seal. (See the above images). As you're making the wontons, make sure to cover the completed ones with a damp paper towel, so they don't dry out. (See the notes above for an easier way to fold the wontons - if desired).
• If your pot of water is at a rolling boil, turn it down to a simmer. (You don't want the agitation of the bubbles to break open the wontons). When all of the wontons are completed, carefully add them to the pot of water and cook for 6 minutes.
• While the wontons are cooking, remove the sliced ginger from the broth and reheat. Prepare your bowls for serving.
• Using a slotted spoon or spider, remove the wontons and divided them among the bowls. Pour the broth over top and garnish with the green parts of the sliced scallions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
