Recipe Prep

To make the Chicken Wonton Broth for 25 chicken wontons

Prep: Combine the broth ingredients in a large pot and set aside.
You will bring it to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on low while preparing and filling the chicken wontons.

Finely chop the all of the garlic, ginger and slice the green onions for the wonton soup broth and filling at once to save time. will be using most of the same ingredients and to save time chop enough for the amounts needed in both the broth and filling. 

Make the chicken wonton filling:

Prepare the wonton filling by mixing together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes,

After the filling has chilled and the flavors have married it is time to fill the wonton wrappers.

Turn the pot of broth on and bring to a boil. Once it boils reduce the heat to a simmer while filling the wontons.

Supplies needed

• a bowl of water
• damp paper towels
• cookie sheet
• cornstarch
• chicken wonton filling

Clear off a workspace and set up a little work station. You will need to keep the wonton wrappers moist while working so open the package and remove a stack of wonton wrappers. Wrap them in a damp paper towel. Rewrap the remaining wonton wrappers in the packaging and set aside.

Have a plate or cookie sheet that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch close by. You'll place the filled won ton on it. Do not stack the wontons. They will stick together. You will also need a bowl of water to moisten the edges of the wontons to seal them.

Step by Step filling Wontons

Lay one wonton wrapper on your work surface. Dip your finger in the bowl of water and run your finger around the edge of the wonton to dampen it.

You do not need much water. The amount your finger picks up is enough to dampen the edge of one wonton wrapper. Too much water will weaken the dough and it will split open when you cook it.

Place a ½ teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton wrapper.

• Bring one corner of the wonton over the filling so it meets up exactly with the opposite corner.
• Pick up the wonton and work the air out from around the filling. Smoothing the wonton wrapper to the edges.

You will be able to see where the air is and gently work it out to the edges. Try not to push any of the filling toward the edges or the edges will not stick together. 

• Dampen the edges of the long corners with more water and fold them over themselves to form the wonton.
• Place each wonton as you make it on the plate or cookie sheet making sure they do not touch.
• Cover with another dampened paper towel while you form all the wontons.

How to cook fresh Chicken Wonton Soup

After filling all the wontons turn the heat up on the simmering broth, once it comes to a gentle boil place half of the filled wontons in the pot along with a handful of julienned Bok choy.

Cook until all of the chicken wontons float to the top. Gently stir to prevent sticking. Place them in a bowl and cover with broth. Cook the remaining wontons the same way and serve.
