Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the green onions by separating the white parts from the green parts. Slice both and set aside.

   In the same boiling water, drop in the fresh wonton noodles. Cook for about 45 seconds until tender, then drain the pot and set the noodles aside.

4. 4

   In the empty pot, add a little bit of sesame oil and heat over medium heat.

5. 5

   Add the grated garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pot. Sauté until fragrant.

6. 6

   Pour in the chicken bone broth.

7. 7

   Season the broth with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, white pepper, salt, and a pinch of MSG.

8. 8

   Bring the broth up to a simmer.

9. 9

   Add the wontons (or soup dumplings) to the simmering broth. Cook until the dumplings are floating and heated through.

10. 10

    To serve, place the cooked noodles and blanched bok choy in a bowl, pour the broth and dumplings over them, and garnish with the green parts of the green onions.

Notes

The author notes that soup dumplings can be used as a substitute if you run out of wontons. The 'jiao sheng wine' mentioned in the transcript is a phonetic transcription of Shaoxing wine.
