Instructions
Preparing the Wontons
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix until just combined.
- Fill the Wonton Wrappers: Lay out wonton wrappers on a parchment-lined surface. Use a cookie scoop or teaspoon to place a small amount of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Fold and Seal: Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, then press the edges to seal. Fold the corners in towards the center and press to seal again.
Preparing the Egg Drop Soup
- Heat the Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth, sliced green onions, soy sauce, salt, ground ginger, and black pepper to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer.
- Create Egg Ribbons: Whisk the eggs in a small bowl until fully scrambled. Stir the broth in a circular motion, then slowly pour the whisked eggs into the pot in a thin stream, creating ribbons.
- Add Wontons: Carefully add the wontons to the simmering soup. Let them cook for 5-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
