Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Shrimp (8 oz, peeled and deveined)
  • Ground pork (8 oz)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Sesame oil (1 teaspoon)

  • Egg noodles (12 oz)
  • Chicken broth (4 cups)
  • Oyster sauce (3 tablespoons)
  • Bok choy (2 cups, chopped)
  • Green onions (2, chopped)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, shrimp, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Wet the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, and press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the wontons and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and set them aside.
  4. In another pot, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the oyster sauce until well combined.
  7. Add the cooked noodles to the broth and toss gently to coat them in the sauce.
  8. Divide the noodles between serving bowls and top with the cooked wontons, stir-fried bok choy, and garnish with chopped green onions.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy the rich flavors of this classic dish!
