Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the minced pork, finely chopped shrimp, minced ginger, minced garlic, and a small handful of chopped green onions. Add the seasonings: 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the filling becomes well combined and sticky. This ensures the flavors are evenly distributed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the filling marinate for about 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Lightly dampen the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger or a small brush. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. For a classic wonton shape, bring the two corners of the triangle together, overlapping them slightly, and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all the wontons are ready.
  3. Rinse the chicken or pork bones under running water to remove any impurities. Blanch the bones in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then drain and rinse them again. In a large pot, add the cleaned bones, smashed ginger, dried shrimp, and roasted onion. Pour in about 2 liters of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let the broth simmer for 40 minutes, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface to keep the broth clear. After simmering, season the broth with salt, sugar, and fish sauce to taste.
  4. Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the prepared wontons into the boiling water. Cook the wontons for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface, which indicates they are fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and set them aside.
  5. Place the cooked wontons into individual serving bowls (about 4-5 wontons per bowl). Ladle the hot broth over the wontons, ensuring they are submerged in the flavorful soup. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of pepper for added aroma and color.
  6. Serve the wonton soup hot with optional sides like steamed rice, chili oil, or soy sauce for dipping. The dish is best enjoyed fresh, as the wontons remain tender and the broth retains its aromatic essence.
