Preparing the Wantons:

2. Place a small spoonful of the mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper.
3. Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water, then fold it over to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
4. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and press to seal, creating the classic wonton shape. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Making the Soup:

1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped bok choy or spinach to the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
3. Season the broth with soy sauce and sesame oil, adjusting to taste.
4. Carefully drop the prepared wontons into the simmering broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
5. Once the wontons are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to distribute the wontons and greens evenly.
6. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
