Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (85g) finely chopped Napa or Savoy cabbage
  • 1 egg
  • 6 oz (170g) ground (minced) chicken
  • 1 ½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 x 14 ½ oz (400g) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 6 finely chopped green (spring) onions
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 24 square wonton wrappers, 3 inches (7 ½ cm)
  • 3 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • Salt, as needed

Instructions

  1. Toss the cabbage with half a teaspoon of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wrap the cabbage in a double layer of paper towels and squeeze out the excess liquid.
  2. Put it in a big bowl with the chicken, ginger, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, soy sauce and half the green onions. Mix well, using a fork. You can refrigerate the filling at this point, for up to 2 days.
  3. Spoon a rounded teaspoon of filling into each wonton wrapper. Fold the wontons over in half to make triangles, wetting the edges so they stick together.
  4. Make sure there is no air inside the wonton wrappers, just the filling, else they might open in the soup and the filling will leak out. Press down firmly to seal.
  5. Wet one tip of the triangle and bring both tips together. Press to seal. Put the wontons on an oiled tray and cover them with a damp towel so they stay moist.
  6. Bring the broth, 4 cups (1 litre) of water and a teaspoon of salt to a boil in a pot and add the wontons one at a time, bringing the soup back to the boil.
  7. Turn the heat down and simmer the soup for 5 minutes or until the wontons are cooked through.
  8. Stir in the vinegar, remaining sesame oil and remaining green onions.
  9. Break the egg and drop it into the soup. Stir with a chopstick for 30 seconds. Season with salt if necessary and serve.
