1. Make the filling
   Mix ground meat, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until combined.
2. Fold the wontons
   Place about 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold into a triangle, press out air, and seal. Bring the two corners together and pinch.

   Drop wontons into the simmering broth. Cook 4–5 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
5. Add vegetables
   Stir in spinach or bok choy for the last minute.
6. Serve
   Ladle into bowls and top with green onions and a drizzle of chili oil if you like.
