Finely chop 1/2 lb of shrimp until paste-like.

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, 1/2 lb of ground pork, and grate in 3 cloves of garlic and an equal amount of ginger.

Add 1 tbsp of Shaoxing wine, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, some black pepper, 1/4 tsp of sugar, and 1/2 tbsp of cornstarch to the mixture.

Finely chop green onions, using 1 if large or 2-3 if small, and stir everything in one direction until sticky.

Keep wonton wrappers covered to prevent drying out. Wet each wrapper and place about 1 tsp of filling in the center.

Fold the wonton wrappers to seal, no perfection needed.

In a pot, add 4 slices of ginger, 2 crushed cloves of garlic, 1 green onion, and 1 dried shiitake mushroom.

Pour in 5 cups of chicken stock, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat for 5 minutes.

Cut up bok choy or other green leafy vegetables.

Cook noodles separately in boiling water if using fresh egg noodles to avoid cloudy soup.

After 5 minutes of boiling, season the soup with 2 tsp of soy sauce, 2 tsp of fish sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Remove solid ingredients from the soup, slice the mushroom, and serve it with the soup.

Add 2 portions of bok choy to the boiling broth and cook for 2 minutes.

Drop in 2 portions of noodles, following package directions for cooking.

Cook about 5 wontons per person for 4 to 6 minutes until they float to the surface.

If the soup reduces too much, add 1/4 cup of water at a time.

Taste the soup before serving to adjust seasoning.
