Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the meatballs.
- Mix the meatball ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the meatballs tender.
- Form and bake the meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté the onions: While the meatballs are baking, heat vegetable oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for an additional 30 seconds.
- Create the soup base: Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar (if using), and sesame oil into the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add bok choy and noodles: Toss in the baby bok choy and optional noodles, cooking until the bok choy is tender, roughly 3-5 minutes.
- Combine meatballs and soup: Gently add the baked meatballs to the pot, letting everything simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the flavors intermix beautifully.
- Prepare the wonton strips: In a skillet, heat oil and fry sliced wonton wrappers until golden brown and crispy. Drain and season lightly with salt.
- Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each serving with the meatballs, vegetables, and crispy wonton strips. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs or additional green onions.
