Ingredients

Wontons:

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 2 green onions, minced

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers

Soup:

  • 2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth

  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated

  • 5 green onions, sliced

  • 1 dash soy sauce, or to taste

Directions

  1. Make the wontons: Mix pork, green onions, egg, hot sauce, and pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. Place a heaping teaspoon pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water. Fold the bottom point to the top point, creating a triangle, and pinch to seal. Fold the outer two points in toward the center and pinch together. Repeat to form remaining wontons.

  3. Make the soup: Pour chicken broth into a pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add grated ginger, then add wontons; cook until wontons float to the surface, about 6 minutes.

  4. Garnish each bowl with green onions and soy sauce.
