Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 150 grams Shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
• 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 liters Chicken broth
• 100 grams Spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 2 teaspoons Oyster sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper.

Step 2

Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated.

Step 3

Take a wonton wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your finger.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper diagonally to create a triangle, sealing the edges and pressing any air out.

Step 6

Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together, overlapping slightly, and seal them with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Heat the chicken broth in a large pot over medium-high heat until it starts to boil.

Step 8

Carefully add the wontons to the boiling broth. Stir gently to prevent sticking, and boil for 4-5 minutes or until the wontons are fully cooked and float to the surface.

Step 9

Add the spinach leaves to the pot and simmer for another minute until they are wilted.

Step 10

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add the oyster sauce for additional flavor.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
