• 8 ounces ground pork
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 green onions, finely chopped

SOUP

• 6 cups (1,440g) chicken broth
• 1½ teaspoons garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2-3 green onions, finely chopped

Preparation:

WONTONS

1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, brown sugar, and finely chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.
2. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the corners together to form a triangle, pressing out any excess air.
4. Slightly lift the long edge of the triangle and wrap the edges in opposite directions, pressing firmly to seal. Use your finger to create a space and wet the edges as needed.
5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Let the wontons rest while preparing the soup.
