Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock or 4 cups water + 2 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 2 scallions whites cut to 3" pieces, greens chopped and reserved
  • 1 inch fresh ginger thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce regular or light
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp MSG optional
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 6 oz wonton noodles fresh preferred
  • 10 wontons store-bought or homemade
  • 2 bunches bok choy washed thoroughly
  • to taste chili oil optional

Method
 

  1. Build the Broth: Place a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken stock, scallion whites, sliced ginger, smashed garlic, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, white pepper, sugar, MSG (if using), and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, then turn heat to low to keep warm.
  2. Cook Ingredients: In a separate pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add wontons and cook until they float (3-4 minutes). Add noodles and bok choy to the same pot and cook for exactly 30 seconds.
  3. Assemble: Use a strainer to remove noodles, wontons, and bok choy from the boiling water, shaking well to remove excess liquid. Divide into bowls. Use a fine mesh strainer to pour the seasoned broth over the bowls to remove the aromatics. Top with reserved scallion greens and optional chili oil.

Notes

Store leftovers separately: keep the broth in one container and the noodles/wontons in another for up to 3 days. Reheat broth on the stove and pour over cold noodles when ready to eat.
