Pancit Molo (Filipino Wonton Soup)
Despite its name, Pinoy pancit molo doesn't feature noodles; instead, it boasts something even more delightful: dumplings reminiscent of wontons. This delectable soup can be enjoyed either as a satisfying snack or as a tantalizing appetizer before your main lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground pork
- 1-pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers, or as needed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded.
- 1 ¼ quarts chicken broth
- 1 small head bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Mix pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 of the filling mixture for soup. Wrap about 1 tablespoon of remaining filling in a wonton wrapper. Repeat until all filling is used up.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and reserved filling. Mix well. Add chicken broth, season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Drop filled wontons into soup one by one. Boil until wontons float to the top, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy; boil until tender, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with green onions.
