1

In a bowl, add scallion and ginger, pour in warm water, and mix until the scallions and ginger release their liquid.

2

Remove the scallion and ginger from the water, which is now infused.

3

In a large mixing bowl, add ground pork and salt, and mix until the pork fully absorbs the salt.

4

Add white pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine, and cornstarch to the pork mixture.

5

Pour in about half of the infused water and mix well, then pour in the rest of the infused water and mix again.

6

Add scallion to the mixture and combine everything together.

7

Take wonton wrappers and tap some water around the edges.

8

Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper, bring one opposite corner together, pinch, and seal the rest.

9

In a pot over high heat, pour in homemade chicken stock and bring it to a boil, seasoning it with salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper.

10

In another pot over high heat, bring water to a boil and add Shanghai bok choy, blanching for about 30 seconds before removing it.

11

In the boiling water, gently add the wontons and stir gently, boiling for about 2 minutes.

12

Pour about 1 cup of water into the pot to prevent the wontons from breaking apart before they are fully cooked.

13

Cook the wontons for another 2 minutes until they are translucent and completely cooked through.

14

In a bowl, scoop the wontons, add the soup, and top with Shanghai bok choy.
