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
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
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
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
Repeat the process until all filling is used, keeping the finished wontons covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- 5
In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth and ginger slices to a gentle boil, then season with salt to taste.
- 6
Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling broth, ensuring they do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
- 7
Cook the wontons for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the wrappers become translucent.
- 8
Remove the ginger slices and serve the soup hot, garnished with extra chives or a drop of chili oil if desired.
