Ingredients

For the Wontons:

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground chili paste
  • 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tablespoons corn starch

For the Soup:

  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
  • 1 8 oz can water chestnuts, chopped
  • 5 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat cook the ground pork for 5-7 minutes or until it is cooked through.
  • Add the soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic cloves and mix well. Heat for one minute.
  • Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and add the cornstarch. Stir until well combined.
  • Lay the wonton wrappers on a cutting board or other surface. Put a teaspoon of filling in each wonton, moisten the edges with water, and press firmly to seal into a triangle. Repeat until all the wonton wrappers have been used.
  • To make the soup combine the chicken broth, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper in a large stock pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cover. Heat for 15 minutes.
