Difficulty: medium

Pork and shrimp wontons fold by the dozen, poach in rich chicken broth, and serve over springy egg noodles with bok choy and scallions. Clean, comforting, and perfect when crews want soup that feels homemade.

Why crews like it: Wonton soup is familiar without being boring. Folding wontons is a good team task for off-duty crew, and the clear broth lightens up a menu heavy on grills and braises.

Ingredients

1 1/4 lb ground pork
3/8 lb shrimp
48 wrappers wonton wrappers
3 whole green onions
7/8 tbsp sesame oil
1 3/4 tbsp soy sauce
6.4 cups chicken broth
1.6 inches ginger

Instructions

Make wonton filling: Mix pork, shrimp, green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, and white pepper until sticky.
Fold wontons: Place a teaspoon of filling in each wrapper, wet edges, fold into triangles or purses, and press air out. Cover with damp towels.
Simmer broth: Simmer chicken broth with ginger 20 minutes. Season with soy and white pepper to taste.
Poach wontons and bok choy: Boil wontons in salted water 4–5 minutes until they float and filling hits 165°F. Blanch bok choy 2 minutes in the same water.
Assemble bowls: Cook egg noodles, drain, and divide into bowls. Add bok choy, wontons, and ladle hot broth over. Finish with scallions.

Hall tips

A little cornstarch in filling helps bind if mixture feels loose.
Chili crisp and black vinegar at the table turn good soup into great soup.
Extra wontons freeze—future shift will thank you.

Meal prep

Wontons freeze well on sheet pans—bag and hold for future nights. Broth can simmer while wontons are folded. Cook noodles fresh per batch.

Leftovers

Frozen wontons go straight into boiling broth from frozen.
