Tasty Naked Wonton Soup

Who doesn't love going to a Chinese Restaurt and ordering the warm Wonton Soup. It warms you up from in the inside out. Making this at home, you can control the sodium, fat and ingredients.

Ingredients

2 gloves garlic; thinly sliced
1 whole star anise
1 bunch green onions, chopped, dark green parts divided from whites and light Green parts

1/4 tsp ground black pepper
4 baby bok choy, cut in half lenghtwise
chili sauce to garnish

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, combine chicken broth, ginger, garlic, star annise, and white and light green parts of green onion over high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to simmer until flavors combine; about 20 min. Strain broth into a large bowl; pour broth into saucepan and return to stove over low heat. Season with a half a teaspoon of salt
  • In the meantime, combine chicken, tamari, sesame oil, Chinese five spice, remaining half teaspoon salt, pepper and half of dark Green onions. Mix well.
