Directions
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil.
To make the shrimp wontons, in a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, the whites of the sliced scallions, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, salt, white pepper, cornstarch and chopped cilantro. Stir well to combine.
Lightly cover a sheet pan with cornstarch. Working in batches, lay out 5 wonton wrappers on your work surface. Place a rounded teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of each wonton.
Using a bowl of water, wet your finger tip and run the water along the the edges of the wrapper. Next, fold the wonton in half over the filling to form a triangle. Press firmly on both sides to seal.
Putting more water on your finger tip, put water on one of two side corners, then bring the corners together. Overlap the corners and press them together to seal the wonton.
Put the finished wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this procedure with the remaining wrappers and filling.
To make the soup, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, bok choy, slice mushrooms, salt and pepper in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, the reduce to a simmer to keep warm.
Lightly dust a baking sheet with cornstarch. Working with 6 wrappers at a time, place a rounded teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of each. Wet the edges of the wrapper and fold it in half over the filling to form a triangle. Press on both sides to seal.
Lightly dab water on one of two side corners, bring them together, overlap them and press to seal. Place the filled wontons on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Working in batches, add half the wontons to the boiling water and cook, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking.
Cook 2 to 4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Once cooked, removed the wonton from the water and place in a bowl.
Ladle 1 cup of the over the cooked wontons. Repeat with the remaining wontons and serve topped with scallion greens and fresh cilantro.
