Method

Wonton Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Fill the Wrappers

    Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two corners together to form a boat shape and seal again.

Prepare the Duck Broth

  1. 3

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot, add duck bones, water, ginger, whole garlic, and green onions. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 2 hours, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.

  2. 4

    Season the Broth

    After 2 hours, strain the broth to remove solids. Return the broth to the pot, add soy sauce and salt, and bring to a simmer.

Cook the Wontons

  1. 5

    Boil the Wontons

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add wontons and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the top and are cooked through.

Serve the Soup

  1. 6

    Assemble the Soup

    In bowls, add cooked wontons and ladle hot duck broth over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro and drizzle with chili oil to taste.
