Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground pork

  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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 bok choy; boil until tender, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with green onions.
