Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 3 scallions
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
- 20 frozen wontons
Instructions
- Add the chicken stock to a medium pot or soup pot.
- Add the whites of the scallions (keep the green parts for garnish later), smashed garlic cloves, sliced fresh ginger, soy sauce, and fish sauce to the chicken stock.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
- While the broth is simmering, bring a separate pot of water to a boil over high heat, then add the wontons to the boiling water.
- Cook the wontons until they float to the surface. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes for frozen wontons and a bit less for fresh ones.
- Once the wontons are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them into individual serving bowls to ensure that any excess water is drained away.
- After the broth has simmered and is richly flavored, pour it into the bowls through a strainer to remove the solids, leaving a smooth, aromatic broth.
- Slice the remaining green parts of the scallions and sprinkle on top of the bowls.
