  • 1 teaspoon  finely chopped scallion

Instructions
 

FOR THE SOUP

  • To make the soup, bring chicken stock to a rolling boil, then add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Cook for 10 minutes until chicken and shrimp are cooked through.

FOR THE WONTONS

  • Combine pork, ground shrimp, brown sugar, rice wine or sherry, soy sauce, scallions, and chopped ginger in a bowl.
  • Mix well and let stand for 25-30 minutes to blend flavors.
  • In the center of each wonton wrapper, place 1 tbsp of the filling.
  • With a little water, moisten the edges of each wonton and seal them with your fingers. Then fold each wonton in half.
  • For cooking, add wontons to boiling chicken stock and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Put the soup in individual bowls and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients always taste better and make the soup more flavorful. Make sure to use fresh chicken breasts, shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, scallions, and ginger.
  • Choose good quality chicken stock: The chicken stock is the base of the soup, so choose a good quality one that is rich in flavor. You can also make your own chicken stock from scratch for a more authentic taste.
  • Marinate the filling: Marinating the pork and shrimp filling for at least 25-30 minutes will help to infuse the flavors and make it more delicious.
  • Use a small amount of filling: It's important not to overfill the wontons, as it can cause them to burst open while cooking. Use a tablespoon of filling for each wonton.
  • Seal the edges properly: To prevent the wontons from falling apart while cooking, make sure to seal the edges properly. Use a little water to moisten the edges and press them firmly with your fingers.
  • Cook the wontons separately: It's best to cook the wontons separately in boiling water and then add them to the soup, as it helps to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Add the spinach at the end: To retain the fresh green color and texture of the spinach, add it to the soup in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Adjust the seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more soy sauce, rice wine, or brown sugar to balance the flavors.
  • Serve hot: Serve the soup hot and garnish it with chopped scallions, if desired. Enjoy!
