Step 1

Let the shiitakes rehydrate for 15 minutes in warm water. Use this water for the next step.

Step 2

Make the broth by stirring the shiitake water, soy sauce, star anise, cloves, Shaoxing, scallions, white pepper, nori, crushed garlics and MSG in a medium size pot. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the broth when it's ready. Optional: add home made fish broth to this borth

Step 3

Make the wonton filling by mixing the cabbage, carrot, scallions, ginger, pork, shiitake, dash of soy sauce, constarch and pepper, in a bowl.

Step 4

Grab a wonton wrapper and scoop up approximately 2 teaspoons of filling. Place the filling in the center of the wrapper and wet the edges of the wrapper by dipping your index finger in water and running it across the edges.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper in half moon shape, and gently press to seal the edges. Grab the corners and bring them in the center of the wonton, gently pressing one corner on top of the other.

Step 6

Repeat until all the wontons are made and set aside.

Step 7

Bring the soup back to a boil and add the wontons. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, covered with a lid.

Step 8

Turn the heat off and stir in the bok choy. Serve the soup in individual bowls and top with chopped scallions and more white pepper, if needed.
