• Using a dutch oven, or large pot, bring about 8 cups of water to a boil.
• Drop the won tons into the boiling water a few at a time so that they are not over crowded (maybe 10 - 12 won tons) and let cook for about 5 - 7 minutes. They will float to the top as they cook.
• Remove from boiling water with slotted spoon and place the won tons directly into the broth.
• Simmer 10-15 minutes longer, then serve.

WON TON SOUP WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Make broth: Simmer pork ribs, chicken, scallions, ginger, and water in a 6- to 8-quart tall narrow stockpot, uncovered, until meat is very tender and falling apart, 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
• Pour broth through a sieve into a large bowl and discard solids. Cool broth, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 1 1/2 hours.
• Make wontons: Stir together pork, yolk, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper in a bowl in 1 direction with your hand until just combined (do not overwork, or filling will be tough).
• Put 1 wonton wrapper on a work surface (keep remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap). Spoon a rounded teaspoon of filling in center of square, then brush water around edges.
• Lift 2 opposite corners together to form a triangle and enclose filling, pressing edges firmly around mound of filling to eliminate air pockets and seal.
• Moisten opposite corners of long side. Curl moistened corners toward each other, overlapping one on top of the other, and carefully press corners together to seal.

• Combine stock ingredients (excepting snow peas,) in a 2 quart stock pot; gently simmer while preparing won tons.
• Mix all filling ingredients in a pie pan, then flatten mixture to cover the base of the pan; divide (as cutting a pie) into 12 wedges so each won ton will contain similar amounts of filling.
• Keep unfilled/filled wrappers covered with a damp towel to keep them from drying.
• Place each portion of filling on the center of a wrapper; moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold like an envelope, making sure all edges are adhered.
