Ingredients

• 250 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks scallions, finely chopped
• 20 pieces wonton wrappers
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1.5 tablespoons chili paste (e.g., Sambal Oelek)
• 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 2 cups bok choy, chopped
• 1 cup bean sprouts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and 1 chopped scallion. Pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky paste.

Step 2

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each wrapper.

Step 3

Lightly wet the edges of each wonton wrapper with water, fold into a triangle, and press the edges to seal tightly. Optionally, fold the corners together to create a 'pouch' shape.

Step 4

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili paste, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the brown sugar and rice vinegar, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and gently drop the prepared wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the wontons float to the surface.

Step 7

Add the chopped bok choy and optional bean sprouts, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until tender.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped scallions, cilantro, and an extra drizzle of sesame oil if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy!
