Won Ton Soup With Pork And Snow Peas

• STOCK
• 32 ounces rich chicken broth
• 2 scallions or 2 green onions, whole
• 1 slice fresh gingerroot, the size of a quarter
• 2 tablespoons spinach or 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh,shredded
• 1 (10 ounce) box frozen snow peas or (10 ounce) box fresh snow peas, strings removed and cut in 1/2
• FILLING
• 1/2 lb ground pork
• 1 tablespoon scallions or 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons spinach or 2 tablespoons leafy greens, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
• 12 wonton wrappers
• ADDITIONAL
• 2 quarts water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold water

1. Additional salted water is to be used to pre-cook won tons before placing in broth.
2. Put water and 1 tsp salt in a stock pot; when all wrappers are filled, heat water to a boil.
3. Combine stock ingredients (excepting snow peas,) in a 2 quart stock pot; gently simmer while preparing won tons.
4. 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.
5. Keep unfilled/filled wrappers covered with a damp towel to keep them from drying.
6. 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.
7. When all wrappers are filled, gently drop into boiling salted water; add 1/2 cup cold water and return to a boil, stirring gently so won tons don't stick to bottom of pan.
8. When won tons begin to float, cook for an additional minute then remove from water and drain; won tons will adhere to each other, so separate them.
9. Remove scallions/green onions and ginger slice from simmering broth and add halved snow peas and drained won tons; heat thoroughly, then portion 3 won tons in 4 bowls, with snow peas and broth divided among the bowls.
