Wonton Soup

10 minutes

Yield: 4 servings




Ingredients

    * 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
    * 1 cup cabbage, shredded
    * 1/2 cup pork, shredded and cooked
    * 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    * 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    * 16 wonton wrappers
    * 1/4 cup scallions, chopped

Directions

Place the chicken broth and cabbage in a large saucepan, set pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

Meanwhile, mix together pork, soy sauce and sesame oil in a food processor. 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 (about 1 teaspoon per wrapper). Wet your fingers with water and pull up 4 corners of the wonton 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. Serve.
