Instructions

1.
**Prepare the Wonton Filling:** In a small bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, grated ginger, minced garlic, white pepper, and salt. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
2.
**Assemble the Wontons:** Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing out any air. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and press to seal, creating a wonton shape. Repeat until all filling is used.
3.
**Cook the Wontons:** Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the wontons into the boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4.
**Prepare the Broth:** In the same pot (or a clean pot), bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
5.
**Cook the Noodles:** In a seperate pot, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles and divide them evenly among serving bowls.
6.
**Assemble the Soup:** Ladle the hot chicken broth over the noodles in each bowl. Add 6-8 wontons to each bowl.
7.
**Garnish:** Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a richer broth, use homemade chicken broth or add a chicken bouillon cube.

You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as bok choy or choy sum.

The wontons can be made ahead of time and frozen. Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag.

Adjust the amount of soy sauce, white pepper, and salt to your preference.
