Ingredients
- For the Dumplings:
1/4 kilo ground pork
1/4 kilo shrimp, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Wonton or Molo wrappers
- For the Soup:
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup shredded chicken (optional)
Directions
- In a bowl, combine all the dumpling ingredients except for the wrappers. Mix well.
- Lay out a wonton wrapper and place a small amount of the dumpling mixture in the center. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle. Seal the edges by moistening them with a little water and pressing them together. Repeat this process until all the dumplings are made.
- In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. If you’re using shredded chicken, add it at this stage.
- Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling broth one by one. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot. Allow the dumplings to cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Pancit Molo hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
