Ingredients

Scale

For the Wontons

  • 2 baby bok choy leaves
  • 3 green onions
  • 1 thumb ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¾ lb ground chicken
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 8 sheets of rice paper

For the Broth

  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 large thumb ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 head baby bok choy, chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Chop the thick white ends off the baby bok choy leaves, reserving the white ends for the broth. Thinly slice the green leaves and chop the green onions.
  2. Make the Meatballs: In a bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped baby bok choy leaves, green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, pepper, coconut aminos, and avocado oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form Meatballs: Wet your hands and shape the mixture into small 1-inch meatballs, about 15 in total. Place on a plate and chill in the refrigerator.
  4. Prepare the Broth: In a large stock pot, combine chicken broth, rice wine vinegar, coconut aminos, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Bring to a low boil.
  5. Cook the Meatballs: Carefully add the meatballs to the boiling broth. Cook until they float and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the meatballs and set aside.
  6. Wilt the Bok Choy: Reduce the broth to a low simmer. Add chopped bok choy leaves and stir to combine, allowing them to wilt gently.
  7. Prepare Rice Paper Wrappers: Using kitchen scissors, cut each rice paper sheet in half. Dip one piece of rice paper into water for about 5 seconds until softened. Place on a clean plate.
  8. Wrap the Meatballs: Place one cooked meatball in the center of the softened rice paper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the meatball completely. Repeat for all meatballs.
  9. Finish the Soup: Turn off the heat under the broth and gently add the wrapped dumplings. Serve the soup immediately, garnished with additional chopped green onions.

Notes

  • To avoid tearing, handle rice paper gently when softening.
  • Measure the internal temperature of meatballs to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • Adjust seasoning of broth with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • For a spicier version, add sliced chili or chili flakes to the broth.
  • Rice paper dumplings are best served immediately to retain their soft texture.
