Ingredients

  • 4 cups spinach leaves
  • 3/4 cup cooked dark-meat chicken (about 1/2 pound skinless, boneless thighs)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 40 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Crushed red pepper (optional)

Method

  • Place first 7 ingredients in a food processor; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon about 1 teaspoon chicken mixture into center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with egg white; bring 2 opposite corners to center, pinching points to seal. Bring remaining 2 corners to center, pinching points to seal. Pinch 4 edges together to seal. Place wonton on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch. Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers, chicken mixture, and egg white. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • Bring stock to a simmer over medium heat; add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add wontons; cook 4 minutes or until wontons float to the top, stirring gently. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if desired.
