Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 20 pieces Won ton wrappers
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 3 medium Green chilies, roasted and diced
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for soup)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 cups Baby spinach or bok choy
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 2 stalks Sliced green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly to create the won ton filling.

Step 2

Place a won ton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the filling into the center.

Step 3

Using your finger or a small brush, lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges tightly to ensure no filling escapes.

Step 4

For added security, bring the two outer corners of the triangle together and press to form a 'purse' shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

In a soup pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Add the diced green chilies and soy sauce to the broth. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup to slightly thicken the broth. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully drop the prepared won tons into the simmering soup, one at a time, to prevent sticking. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the won ton wrappers are translucent and the filling is fully cooked.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach or bok choy to the soup and stir gently until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of won tons, greens, and broth.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
