Ingredients

Wontons:

1 pound ground chicken

2 green onions, minced

1 large egg, beaten

2 teaspoons hot sauce

ground black pepper to taste

1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers

Soup:

2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth

1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated

5 green onions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 dash soy sauce, or to taste

Instructions

Make the wontons: Mix chicken, green onions, egg, hot sauce, and pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Place a heaping teaspoon Chicken mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water. Fold the bottom point to the top point, creating a triangle, and pinch to seal. Fold the outer two points in toward the center and pinch together. Repeat to form remaining wontons.

Make the soup: Pour chicken broth into a pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add grated ginger, then add wontons; cook until wontons float to the surface, about 6 minutes.

Season the broth with salt and white pepper to taste.

Garnish each bowl with green onions and soy sauce.
