Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons freshly grated ginger
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 ½ tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms
  • 3 baby bok choy, coarsely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

For the chicken wontons

  • 8 ounces ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 36 2- inch won ton wrappers

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, garlic, green onions, oyster sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and white pepper.*
  • To assemble the wontons, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal; set aside.*
  • Heat sesame oil and canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Whisk in chicken broth, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and mushrooms. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until mushrooms have softened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in bok choy and green onions.
  • Stir in wontons until cooked through, about 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

*The filling in the wontons does not have to be cooked prior to wrapping.
*TO FREEZE: Place wontons in a single layer onto a baking sheet; freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Transfer to a Ziploc bag; freeze up to 3 months. To cook from frozen, increase cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
