Make Pork Filled Wonton Dumplings

Place the ground pork in a medium size mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce, salt, one sliced green onion, and the hot Chinese mustard, and mix until combined.
1 cup Pork, 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1 Green onion, 2 tablespoon Chinese hot mustard
Place the wonton on a work surface and brush the edges with either the egg white or warm water.
24 Wonton wrappers, 1 Egg white
Place a teaspoon of the ground pork filling in the center of each small square wonton wrapper.
Fold over one corner to the opposite corner and press down on the edges to seal with the egg white or water.
Bring the two points of the long end of the triangular dumpling together and join with a little egg white or water.

Make the Subgum Wonton Soup

Bring the chicken broth, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped dried seaweed, and soy sauce to a boil while the filled wonton dumplings rest.
8 cup Chicken broth, 2 teaspoon Ginger, 2 cloves Garlic, 1 tablespoon Dried Seaweed, 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
Add the wonton dumplings to the soup pot, reduce to medium heat, and cook until the wonton dumplings float to the surface, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the spinach or bok choy, sliced carrots, sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets or snow peas, and cook for 2 minutes.
4 oz Spinach, 1 medium Carrot, 4 oz Broccoli, 2 oz Mushrooms, 4 oz Snow peas
Add any additional previously cooked meats such as shrimps, sliced short ribs, sliced pork chop, slices of leftover chicken, and even egg pancake or tofu.
4 oz pork, 4 oz shrimp, 4 oz chicken
Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before serving so that the pre cooked meats warm up. Serve with fresh steamed rice, and enjoy!

Notes

Here are a few tips for making this subgum wonton soup recipe:

If you don't have time to make your own filled wonton dumplings, you can buy pre-made wonton dumplings in the freezer case at the grocery store.
Use any combination of vegetables and additional meats that you have one hand. My son even adds SPAM!
To make the soup even more flavorful, you can add a splash of sesame oil or chili oil.
