Wonton Soup

I actually came across this soup from a book I bought from Jorge Cruise. It's really yummy!! I used vegetarian potstickers from the frozen section at the grocery store. Also, it calls for shitake mushrooms, but those can be difficult to find in the grocery store so I use button mushrooms when they're not available. Baby bok choy is also only available during its "season", so regular bok choy is okay, just make sure to use less.

1 serving

1/4 tsp peanut oil
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp minced ginger
4 oz pork tenderloin, cut into matchsticks
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup sliced shitake mushrooms
1/2 green onion, sliced
1/4 head baby bok choy
2 cups chicken broth
4 frozen vegetable potstickers
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup packed baby spinach

In medium saucepan bring chicken broth to a boil.
In a separate sauce pan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat. Season pork liberally with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and ginger to peanut oil and saute until fragrant. Add pork, saute for 2-3 minutes for until just under-done. Add mushrooms, green onions, and bok choy. Pour hot chicken broth over pork and veggies. Add potstickers, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes or until potstickers are heated through and veggies are tender. Stir in spinach until wilted.
