Won Ton Soup With Bok Choy Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and white parts of the scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shiitakes and cook until they begin to soften, another minute.
• Add the bone broth and bring to a boil. Add the bok choy and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and stir. Add the wontons and cook until they are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and season if necessary.
• Ladle into bowls, then top with the scallion greens. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make broth:
• Simmer pork ribs, chicken, scallions, ginger, and water in a 6- to 8-quart tall narrow stockpot, uncovered, until meat is very tender and falling apart, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Pour broth through a sieve into a large bowl and discard solids. Cool broth, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 1 1/2 hours.
• Make wontons:
• Stir together pork, yolk, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper in a bowl in 1 direction with your hand until just combined (do not overwork, or filling will be tough).
• Put 1 wonton wrapper on a work surface (keep remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap). Spoon a rounded teaspoon of filling in center of square, then brush water around edges. Lift 2 opposite corners together to form a triangle and enclose filling, pressing edges firmly around mound of filling to eliminate air pockets and seal. Moisten opposite corners of long side. Curl moistened corners toward each other, overlapping one on top of the other, and carefully press corners together to seal. Make more wontons in same manner.
• Finish soup:
• Skim any fat from broth, then bring to a simmer in a 5- to 6-quart pot. Stir in bok choy, salt, and white pepper and simmer, uncovered, until bok choy is crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wontons and simmer, uncovered, gently stirring, until filling is just cooked through, about 3 minutes (cut 1 open to check).

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.
