Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons ginger
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 4 stalks scallions
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 30 pieces wonton wrappers
• 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 heads baby bok choy
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Clean the shiitake mushrooms with a damp cloth, remove the stems, and slice the caps thinly. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Finely chop 2 scallions and set the remaining 2 aside for garnish.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped scallions, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

Step 3

Prepare the pot stickers by placing about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water, wet the edges of the wrapper, and fold it into a half-moon shape, sealing tightly. Repeat for all wrappers.

Step 4

Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Add the remaining soy sauce to the broth for seasoning.

Step 6

Lower the heat to a simmer and carefully add the pot stickers to the broth. Allow them to cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking.

Step 7

While the pot stickers cook, rinse and chop the baby bok choy into large pieces. Add the bok choy to the soup and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until tender.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each portion includes several pot stickers and plenty of vegetables. Garnish with the reserved scallions, thinly sliced.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting Kennett Square-inspired soup!
