Ingredients

4 cups chicken or shrimp broth (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
12 shrimp wontons (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
4 portions thin ramen noodles (or egg noodles)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 cup baby bok choy, halved or quartered
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and white pepper, to taste
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Preparation

In a large pot, bring broth to a gentle simmer. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil.
Add baby bok choy and cook 2–3 minutes until just tender.
Meanwhile, cook shrimp wontons according to package or recipe directions in a separate pot of simmering water. Cook ramen noodles separately; drain well.
To serve, divide noodles among bowls. Add cooked wontons and bok choy, then ladle hot broth over.
Finish with toppings: crispy fried garlic, chili oil drizzle, bean sprouts, cilantro, and extra green onions as desired.

Perfect Pairings

Drink

Sake (Junmai, chilled)

A chilled Junmai sake, with its clean, crisp, and subtly fruity profile, complements the delicate shrimp wontons and light broth. Its elegance enhances the subtle flavors without overpowering the dish, making it a harmonious pairing.
