  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce

Noodle Soup

For Serving

  • Bok choy halved or chopped
  • Chopped green onions
  • Chili crisp

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced ginger, minced garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well with your hands or chopsticks until the filling is sticky and cohesive.
    ½ pound ground pork, ½ pound shrimp, 1 Tbsp minced ginger, 2 cloves garlic, 2 green onions, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, ½ tsp salt, Dash of white pepper, ½ Tbsp cornstarch
  • To fold the wontons, form a "C" shape with your hand and place one wonton wrapper over your fingers. Use a butter knife or small spoon to scoop about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper, then gently push down in the middle as you fold all the edges inward and pinch to seal. It doesn't have to look perfect! Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. You won't need all the wontons for the noodle soup so I like to freeze the extras for next time.

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring water to a gentle boil. Add about 10-12 wontons (or your preferred amount) and gently stir to prevent sticking. Cook for 3-5 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl or plate.
  • In the same pot of boiling water, blanch the bok choy for about 30 seconds until bright green and slightly tender, then remove with the slotted spoon. Add the dried egg noodles to the same pot and cook according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.

  • In a separate large pot over medium-high heat, add the chicken broth, sliced ginger, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and Shaoxing wine, if using. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to let the flavors come together. Remove the ginger slices, stir in the chopped green onions, and turn off the heat.
    5 cups low sodium chicken broth, 2 inch ginger, 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, ¼ tsp salt, Dash of white pepper, 1 Tbsp Shaoxing wine, 2 green onions
  • In serving bowls, divide the noodles, cooked wontons, and bok choy, then pour the hot soup over the top. Garnish with more chopped green onions and chili crisp if desired.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
  • Make sure not to overfill the wontons so the wontons do not burst when cooking. Just a small amount of filling is needed then pinch to seal the wontons.
  • Cook the wontons separately from the soup because store-bought wontons usually have starch coating, which you don't want in your broth.
  • If you can't find thin egg noodles (also known as Canton noodles), you can use any thin noodles you prefer such as ramen, rice noodles, angel hair pasta.
