In this delicious soup, tender pork meatballs are seasoned with garlic, ginger, scallions, and just a hint of brown sugar. The meatballs are cooked in a fragrant chicken broth seasoned with sesame, soy sauce, and rice cooking wine. Bok choy, or heartier gai lan, adds a nutritious leafy green element to this dish. Instead of wonton noodles, we use fresh lasagna noodles, but dried lasagna noodles can also be used. If using dried, increase starch cooking time to 10 minutes and cut them into wide strips after cooking. A healthy sprinkle of chopped scallions and a drizzle of chili oil finish this simple and delicious soup.
