Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium jalapeños, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 24 pieces wonton wrappers
• 1 pound ground pork or chicken
• 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 4 wedges lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Mix in the minced garlic, chopped jalapeños, and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer while preparing the dumplings.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork or chicken, chopped green onions, cilantro, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and place a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 8

Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering broth. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.

Step 9

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring an even distribution of dumplings and broth.

Step 11

Serve hot with fresh lime wedges on the side for an optional zesty kick.
