In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil; add the ground pork, shrimp, and 1 chopped green onion and mix to combine.

Lay one wonton skin in front of you like a baseball diamond. Using your finger, brush beaten egg around the outer edge of the wonton skin. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wonton skin. Fold the 'home run' corner to the '2nd base' corner to form a triangle and press down. The meat filling lump should be at the bottom of the triangle. Brush egg mixture on the '1st base' and '3rd base' corners of the triangle. Fold each base corner over the meat filling lump and over each other. Brush egg mixture on the '2nd base/homerun' corner of the triangle and fold it behind the meat filling lump. This makes one wonton. Repeat until there is no more mixture or wrapper skins. Keep the wontons covered with a wet towel to prevent them from drying.

Combine the chicken stock, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, and 2 green onions in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the bok choy and return to a boil until the bok choy is tender, about 5 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; boil the wontons for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking to each other or to the sides of the pot.

Place the wontons in a soup bowl and ladle the soup over them to serve. Garnish with chopped green onions.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
