Category: SOUPS/STEWS

1/2 pound ground pork
1 green onion (with tops), chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
24 wonton skins
5 cups water
3 cans (10-3/4 ounces) condensed chicken broth
3 soup cans filled with water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup spinach, torn into small pieces, or 1 cup watercress

Instructions
Cook pork and green onion, stirring occasionally, until pork is brown; drain.

Mix pork mixture, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, the cornstarch and ginger.

Place 1 teaspoon filling on center of each wonton skin. Moisten edges with water. Fold each in half to form triangle. Press edges to seal.

Pull bottom corners of triangle down and overlap slightly. Moisten one corner with water. Pinch to seal.

Heat 5 cups water to boiling in Dutch oven. Add wontons. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.

Simmer uncovered 2 minutes (wontons will break apart if overcooked); drain.

Heat chicken broth, 3 cans water and 1 tablespoon soy sauce to boiling in 3-quart saucepan. Add spinach. Heat just to boiling.

Place 3 wontons and 1 cup hot broth in each soup bowl.
