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
In a medium bowl, mix the ground pork, minced garlic, ginger, and half of the soy sauce until well combined.
- 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
Repeat the process until all wontons are filled and set them aside on a plate dusted with a little flour.
- 4
Bring the broth to a gentle boil in a large pot and add the shredded cabbage if using.
- 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.

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.

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

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