Ingredients

  • 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
  • 2 cups Garlic chives, finely chopped
  • 4 pieces Large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon White pepper powder
  • 6 cups Vegetable broth
  • 3 slices Fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and scramble them in a hot oiled pan until they are in very small, fine curds.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the scrambled eggs, chopped garlic chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, and white pepper; mix thoroughly to create the filling.

  3. 3

    Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper, moisten the edges with water, and fold into a triangle or traditional nurse-cap shape.

  4. 4

    Repeat the process until all filling is used, keeping the finished wontons covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.

  5. 5

    In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth and ginger slices to a gentle boil, then season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling broth, ensuring they do not stick to the bottom of the pot.

  7. 7

    Cook the wontons for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the wrappers become translucent.

  8. 8

    Remove the ginger slices and serve the soup hot, garnished with extra chives or a drop of chili oil if desired.
