Ingredients

Aromatics

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 baby bok choy, chopped

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Proteins

  • 6 ounces wontons

Instructions

  1. Mince Aromatics: Begin by mincing the garlic and ginger finely to release their fragrant flavors into the soup.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Thinly slice the green onions and chop the baby bok choy into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Place a pot on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the toasted sesame seed oil, then stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Fry for about one minute until they start to brown and become aromatic.
  4. Add Green Onions: Add the sliced green onions to the pot, stir well, and cook for an additional two minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Add Liquids and Wontons: Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Add the wontons and chopped bok choy to the pot.
  6. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat, allowing the wontons to cook through and the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: Once the wontons are fully cooked and the bok choy is tender, ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • If using frozen wontons, do not thaw before adding to the soup; add directly from the freezer.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste depending on your preferred saltiness.
  • To make it vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth and use vegetarian wontons.
  • For spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil before serving.
