Ingredients
Scale
- 12–16 frozen beef wontons
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 spring onions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts)
- Baby bok choy, washed and trimmed
- Spinach or thinly sliced napa cabbage
- 2–3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- A pinch of white pepper
- 1–2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- A dash of rice vinegar
- Chili oil (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Aromatics: Mince about 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger and 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the white and light green parts of 2-3 spring onions, reserving the darker green parts for garnish. Wash and trim your greens, like baby bok choy, and cut them in half lengthwise if they're large.
- Heat the Broth: In a medium-sized pot or Dutch oven, pour in about 6 cups of your chosen broth (chicken, vegetable, or beef). Bring the broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Add Aromatics and Season: Once the broth is simmering, add your minced ginger and garlic. Let them infuse the broth for about 2-3 minutes. Add 2-3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce and a generous pinch of white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cook the Wontons: Carefully add your frozen beef wontons to the simmering broth, one by one. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let them simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the top and are tender and cooked through.
- Add the Greens: Once the wontons are almost done, add your prepared greens to the pot. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the greens are tender-crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in about 1-2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved sliced green parts of the spring onions. Drizzle with chili oil if desired and enjoy immediately!

Keywords: Don't overcook the wontons to maintain their texture. You can enhance the broth by sautéing ginger and garlic in oil before adding the broth. Customize your greens based on preference and consider adding cooked noodles for a heartier meal.
