Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 of the filling mixture for soup. Wrap about 1 tablespoon of remaining filling in a wonton wrapper. Repeat until all filling is used up.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and reserved filling. Mix well. Add chicken broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Drop filled wontons into soup one by one. Boil until wontons float to the top, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy; boil until tender, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with green onions.
