Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold into a triangle, press to seal, and bring the bottom corners together to form the traditional shape. - Prepare the Broth:
Heat chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Simmer gently. - Cook the Wontons:
Add wontons to the simmering broth and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float and are fully cooked. - Add Vegetables:
Stir in bok choy or spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. - Serve:
Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with green onions, and serve hot.
Notes
Freeze uncooked wontons for up to 3 months for easy future use.
Customize with your favorite greens or add chili oil for a spicy kick.
For a vegetarian option, use tofu and mushrooms as filling and substitute vegetable broth.
