Method
Mince
In a bowl, combine ground chicken, sliced scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger, white pepper, and breadcrumbs; mix well.
Cook the mixture in a hot pan over medium‑high heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through; set aside.
Soup
Heat sesame oil in a pot over medium heat, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Stir in miso paste, sliced scallions, and soy sauce (if using), then pour in the chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the half packet of wonton wrappers and cook for a few minutes until softened.
Serve
Divide the cooked mince into bowls, ladle the hot soup over it, and garnish with shiitake mushrooms, chopped baby bok choy, extra sliced scallions, and a drizzle of chilli oil if desired.
Tips while you cook
- Set aside cooked mince
- After browning the chicken mixture, transfer it to a bowl and keep it aside before preparing the soup.
- Soften wrappers briefly
- Add the wonton wrappers to the broth and cook only a few minutes until they soften.
- Add fresh scallion garnish at the end
- Slice extra scallions and sprinkle them on the finished bowls for a fresh bite.
