Ingredients
- 1/2 pound shrimp peeled, deveined, and finely chopped
- 1/2 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce divided
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 green onion finely chopped (divided, use half in filling and half for garnish)
- A pinch of granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 5 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 3 slices fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves smashed
- 1 dried shiitake mushroom rehydrated if needed
- 2 1/4 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 portions egg noodles precooked or fresh
- 4 ounces baby bok choy quartered
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, ground chicken, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, grated garlic, grated ginger, half of the chopped green onion, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a uniform paste.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water using your finger, then fold the wrapper to form a dumpling. Press firmly to seal and set aside on a lightly floured surface.

- In a large pot, bring the chicken stock, ginger slices, smashed garlic, and dried shiitake mushrooms to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce and the fish sauce. Let simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors. Adjust the flavor, adding more soy sauce if needed.
- Gently add the prepared wontons into the simmering broth. Allow them to cook for 5-6 minutes until they float, indicating they are cooked through.

- In a separate pot, blanch the egg noodles in boiling water for about 1 minute. In the last 2-3 minutes, add the bok choy to the pot. Drain and divide the noodles and bok choy among serving bowls.

- Place 4-5 wontons on top of the noodles and vegetables. Carefully ladle the hot broth over the bowls, and garnish with the remaining chopped green onion.
