Prepare the filling by mixing ground pork, shrimp, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt in a bowl until well combined.

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add a small spoonful of the filling in the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half diagonally, and press to seal. Then bring the two corners together to form a wonton shape.

Repeat the process until all filling is used, placing finished wontons on a floured tray to prevent sticking.

In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add the wontons to the boiling broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they float and are cooked through.

While the wontons cook, sauté bok choy and sliced carrots in a separate pan with a little oil until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Once the wontons are cooked, add the sautéed vegetables to the broth.

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt as needed.

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and additional green onions.
