recipe ingredient: spinach: 2 handfuls (optional).

recipe instructions: Mix a small, sticky filling
  type: HowToStep
  text: Put ground pork, ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil if using, white pepper, and one sliced green onion in a bowl. Stir in one direction for about 1 minute until the filling looks sticky. This helps it hold together inside the wrapper.
recipe instructions: Set up a folding station
  type: HowToStep
  text: Place wrappers on a clean board, cover the stack with a towel, and put a small bowl of water nearby. Line a plate with parchment or a light dusting of cornstarch. Keeping wrappers covered prevents dry edges that will not seal.
recipe instructions: Fold and seal the wontons
  type: HowToStep
  text: Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of one wrapper. Wet two edges with your finger, fold into a triangle, and press out air pockets before sealing. Use less filling than seems generous; overfilled wontons often burst in the pot.
recipe instructions: Cook noodles separately
  type: HowToStep
  text: Boil the noodles in plain water according to the package, then drain and divide among serving bowls. Cooking noodles separately keeps the broth clear and prevents loose starch from making the soup cloudy or thick.
recipe instructions: Simmer the wontons in broth
  type: HowToStep
  text: Bring the stock to a gentle boil and season with the remaining soy sauce. Add wontons one at a time and stir gently so they do not stick. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes, until they float and one cut-open wonton shows no pink filling.
recipe instructions: Add greens and assemble bowls
  type: HowToStep
  text: Add spinach or chopped bok choy to the broth for the last minute, just until wilted. Ladle wontons, greens, and hot broth over the noodles. Finish with green onion and taste the broth before adding more soy sauce.
