# How to Make It:
01 - In a bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, spring onion, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water, then fold and seal into triangles or envelope shapes. Set aside under a damp cloth to prevent drying.
03 - In a large pot, bring chicken stock to a simmer. Add lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and chilies. Simmer for 10 minutes to extract and develop aromatic flavors.
04 - Add sliced mushrooms and quartered tomatoes to the broth. Simmer for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Using a slotted spoon, remove lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves.
05 - Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or fish sauce to achieve desired balance of spice, tang, and umami.
06 - Gently add assembled wontons and shrimp if using to the simmering broth. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until wontons float to the surface and shrimp turn pink.
07 - Add bok choy or spinach and simmer for 1 minute until leaves are wilted and tender.
08 - Ladle soup into bowls, distributing wontons, shrimp, and broth evenly. Top with fresh coriander, sliced spring onions, lime wedges, and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
