• Mix the chopped cabbage with the pork.
• Method:.
• Set out ten wonton wrappers on a counter surface.
• Place 3/4 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Have a cup of water handy.
• Moisten both index fingers with water.
• With a corner pointing up, moisten two adjoining edges of the corner with water.
• Repeat with all ten wontons.
• Bring the opposite corner up and fold together over the filling to make a triangle.
• Run your fingers along edge to seal tightly.
• At the bottom,fold the remaining side corners together; moisten and seal tightly.
• In a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium/high heat.
• Using a spatula to remove wontons from counter, drop in the ten wontons, stirring gently.
• Place lid on saucepan and reduce the heat to medium.
• When the broth returns to a boil and the wontons start to float, remove pan from the heat.
• With a strainer, transfer the wontons from the pan to 6 individual soup bowls.
• Repeat until all forty wontons are cooked through.
• Pour hot broth over wontons.
• Add a bit of cabbage and scallion tops to each bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk rice wine and cornstarch together in large bowl. Add ground pork, 2 tablespoons green onion, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and sugar; stir until well combined and paste-like, about 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place about 1 tablespoon pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg and pinch edges to seal, creating a small pouch. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and pork mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add bok choy, snap peas, carrot, and 2 tablespoons green onion, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Remove and distribute evenly among 4 soup bowls.
• Place wontons in steamer basket and steam until pork is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove and place in soup bowls alongside vegetables.
• Heat chicken broth and water in a saucepan until hot, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour hot broth mixture evenly into soup bowls atop vegetables and wontons. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped green onion evenly over each bowl.

Steps:

• Place broth and cabbage in a large saucepan and set pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine pork, soy sauce and sesame oil. Pulse 3 or 4 times until the pork is finely minced but not a paste.
• Arrange 16 wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Spoon filling onto the center of each wrapper, to within 1/4-inch of the edges (about 1 teaspoon per wrapper). Wet your fingers with water and pull up corners of the wontons to create individual "purses". Pinch the edges together (with wet fingers) to seal.
• Place stuffed wontons in simmering broth. Cook 5 minutes, until wontons are tender and translucent. Remove from heat and stir in scallions.

Steps:

• For the wontons: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add bok choy, and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. Press to remove excess liquid. Roll bok choy in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze to remove any remaining liquid. Transfer to a food processor, and coarsely chop. Add pork and ginger, and pulse until mixture forms a coarse puree. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in soy sauce, wine, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper.
• Place 1 wonton wrapper on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon filling onto center of bottom half of wrapper. Lightly moisten edge of wrapper with a finger dipped in water. Fold top edge over filling to form a rectangle, gently pressing around the filling to squeeze out any air and seal the edges. With folded edge facing you, gently pull the 2 corners of the folded edge together to meet, pinching to seal with a dab of water. Flip up the sealed edge like the brim of a hat. Place wonton on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel. Repeat. (Wontons can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet for 1 hour, then transferred to airtight containers and frozen for 2 weeks.)
• For the soup: Thinly slice 2 scallions, and reserve. Gently crush remaining 6 scallions with a chef's knife, and place in a stockpot along with chicken, ginger, peppercorns, drained mushrooms, and the cold water. Bring to a boil, and skim foam from top. Add wine, reduce heat, and simmer very gently for 2 1/2 hours.
• Strain mixture through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth, reserving mushrooms and discarding remaining solids. Rinse mushrooms, and reserve. Let broth cool completely. Skim fat from surface. (Broth can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.)
• Add mushrooms and soy sauce to broth, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt to taste. Reduce heat to low, and cover to keep hot.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half of the wontons. As soon as wontons rise to the surface, add 1 cup cold water to pot. When wontons return to surface, remove with a slotted spoon, and place in the hot broth. Repeat with remaining wontons.
• To serve, place 3 wontons in each bowl, and ladle soup over top. Sprinkle with reserved scallions.

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
• Add ground pork and brown until no longer pink.
• Add ginger root, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, sherry, beaten egg, 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley, garlic powder, 4 thinly sliced scallions, salt and pepper to taste.
• Continue cooking 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the cooked chopped shrimp.
• Remove from heat, mix thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.
• That is your filling for the wontons.
• Place a small amount of water into a small bowl to use for sealing the wontons.
• Place a tablespoon or more of the filling into the center of each wrapper.
• Moisten edges with water, fold up corner of wrapper over the filling and press firmly to seal.
• It will look like a triangle.
• Hold filled wonton by the tip with the longest side down.
• Gently wrap corners around filled part, moisten with water and gently pinch to seal.
• The finished wonton resembles a nurse's hat.
• Set wontons aside on an oiled plate& continue with remaining wontons.
• The reason for oiling the plate is to prevent wontons from sticking.
• Place the chicken broth& 2 tablespoons of sesame oil into a large pot and bring to a light boil.
• Add sliced mushrooms, sliced water chestnuts and snow peas.
• Add wontons individually and cook until they float, about 1 or 2 minutes.
• Ladle soup into individual large soup bowls with as many wontons per person as desired.
• Top with strips of pork, strips of chicken, as many whole cooked shrimp as desired, and several slices of hard-boiled egg.
• Garnish with sliced and cut up pieces of scallions and Italian flat-leaf parsley on top and serve.

Steps:

• Mix pork, green onions, egg, and hot sauce for wontons together in a bowl; season with pepper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water. Fold the bottom point to the top point, creating a triangle, and pinch to seal. Fold the outer 2 points in toward the center, pinching together. Repeat to form remaining wontons.
• Pour chicken broth in a pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add grated ginger. Add wontons and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are ready, about 6 minutes.
• Serve, garnished with green onions and soy sauce.
