Ingredients

  • 0.5 pounds Ground pork
  • 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
  • 3 tablespoons White miso paste
  • 4 cups Dashi or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded(optional)
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, mix the ground pork, minced garlic, ginger, and half of the soy sauce until well combined.

  2. 2

    Place a teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper, moisten the edges with water, and fold into a triangle or pouch.

  3. 3

    Repeat the process until all wontons are filled and set them aside on a plate dusted with a little flour.

  4. 4

    Bring the broth to a gentle boil in a large pot and add the shredded cabbage if using.

  5. 5

    Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling broth and cook for 4-5 minutes until they float to the surface and the pork is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Reduce the heat to low; take a small amount of the hot broth in a separate cup and whisk it with the miso paste until smooth.

  7. 7

    Stir the miso mixture back into the main pot, ensuring the soup does not return to a hard boil to preserve the miso flavor.

  8. 8

    Stir in the sesame oil and remaining soy sauce, then serve hot garnished with sliced green onions.
