Instructions

Prepare the Wontons:
- In a bowl, mix ground pork (or chicken), minced green onions, beaten egg, hot sauce, and black pepper. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the bottom point to the top to form a triangle, and seal. Fold the outer points inward and pinch together. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Make the Soup:
- Heat chicken broth in a large pot and bring to a boil.
- Add grated ginger to the broth.
- Drop wontons into the boiling broth and cook for about 6 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Season the soup with salt and white pepper.
Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and a dash of soy sauce.

Notes

For additional flavor, add vegetables like bok choy, mushrooms, or spinach to the soup.
Leftover wontons can be frozen before cooking and used later.
