Equipment

  • pot
  • spoon

Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 1/2 teaspoon of golden light brown sugar imparting a subtle caramel sweetness
  • 1/2 tablespoon of premium soy sauce meticulously brewed for a savory and umami taste
  • 1/2 pound of small to medium-sized shrimp sourced from pristine waters for their delicate flavor
  • 1/2 cup of vibrant and fresh spinach hand-torn into small pieces for a burst of greenery
  • 1/2 cup of tender mushrooms thinly sliced for a delightful texture
  • 1 succulent chicken breast carefully cubed for tender bites
  • 1/2 can of crisp and water chestnuts adding a crunchy element to the soup
  • 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped scallion adding a mild onion flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh ginger releasing its aromatic and zesty essence
  • 3 cups of rich and flavorful chicken stock carefully simmered for depth of taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon of fragrant rice wine enhancing the flavors with its delicate fermentation

For the Wontons:

  • 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger releasing its aromatic and zesty essence
  • 1/2 teaspoon of golden light brown sugar imparting a subtle caramel sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped scallion adding a mild onion flavor
  • 12 delicate wonton wrappers carefully crafted for the perfect texture and thickness
  • 1/2 tablespoon of fragrant rice wine enhancing the flavors with its delicate fermentation
  • 4 medium-sized shrimp meticulously shelled and ground, adding a delicate seafood flavor
  • 3 ounces of tender and seasoned ground pork providing a savory and juicy filling
  • 1/2 tablespoon of premium soy sauce meticulously brewed for a savory and umami taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned about 5 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, water chestnuts, light brown sugar, rice wine, and soy sauce. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the scallion and ginger and stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the wontons. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground pork, shrimp, light brown sugar, rice wine, soy sauce, scallion and ginger until well combined.
  • Lay one wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork and shrimp mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Gently fold two opposite sides together to create a triangle shape, then press down on the edges to seal.
  • Transfer the wontons to a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Once all the wontons have been made, drop them into the simmering soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh scallions before serving.

Notes

- Make sure to use a large stockpot because the wontons will expand when added.
- If you don't have any ground pork, you can use ground chicken or turkey instead.
- To ensure your wontons are sealed properly, dip your finger in some water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper before sealing.
- If you don't have any light brown sugar, feel free to substitute with white granulated sugar instead.
- For a spicier version of this soup, add a few dashes of Sriracha or your favorite Asian chili sauce.
