Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Peel and mince or grate ginger.
-
Remove half the wonton wrappers (all for 4 servings) from package. TIP: Extra wonton wrappers freeze well for up to three months! Simply wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-friendly plastic bag.
-
Stack wonton wrappers; cut diagonally into quarters to create small triangles. Separate wonton triangles into a pile and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
-
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork*; season with half the soy sauce (you’ll use the rest in the next step), ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. (TIP: Not sure how much pork to use? Reference the “Before you start” section at left for guidance.) Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork begins to brown, 2-3 minutes.
-
Add scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and half the carrots (all for 4). Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots begin to soften and pork is cooked through, 3-4 minutes more.
-
Add 5 cups water (9½ cups for 4 servings), pork ramen stock concentrates, mushroom stock concentrate, and remaining soy sauce to pot with pork and veggies. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium.
-
Carefully add wonton triangles to pot a small handful at a time. (TIP: Stirring the soup constantly as you add the wonton triangles will prevent the pieces from sticking together—but it’s OK if a few do!) Cook, stirring occasionally, until wonton triangles are tender, 1-2 minutes.
-
Add cabbage to pot; stir to combine. Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
-
Divide soup between bowls. Garnish with scallion greens and wonton strips. Serve. TIP: If you like things spicy, serve with Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce!

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The broth is flavorful and comforting, but many reviewers found the wonton wrappers turned slimy or mushy in the soup 🍲.
- Ease of prep: This comes together quickly and is straightforward to cook, making it a great weeknight option.
- Suggestions: Add the wonton triangles in small batches and stir constantly to prevent sticking; pull them out slightly early if you prefer a firmer texture. Some reviewers reduced the water volume slightly for a more concentrated broth, or added extra soy sauce and salt to boost flavor. Stir in sriracha or hot sauce at the end for a welcome kick 🌶️.
- Leftovers: The soup doesn't reheat well — the wonton wrappers become mushy overnight, so it's best enjoyed fresh the same night.
Reviews from our home cooks
The soup was really delicious! We will more than likely make it again. The only thing I didn't like was the pieces of wonton were too big and kept sliding off my spoon.
Surprisingly wonderful. The cabbage was rust colored so I had to replace it. The card references bok choy and the recipe tells you when to add it, but it wasn't referenced as an ingredient nor was it in the bag. I bought the bad/missing ingredients and happy I did. I will try to recreate this without you!
Super yummy, a good amount in the servings, however the wontons got way too mushy. Making the wontons differently or thicker would be perfect!
This was so good! I used ginger miso chicken broth with it too and it was delicious
ABSOLUTE BANGER. Was mad it didn't come with bok choy, what was that about? But so good. Added a little sriracha and it was perfect.
I wish it had been a little spicier, but overall it was great
One of the best Hello Fresh meals we've had! Easy, different, and large portions!
Delicious and so easy to make in a busy winter weeknight!
We loved this and there was enough leftover for lunch tomorrow
Aromatics should have been cooked first, then add meat. They didn't have time to really provide good flavor to the soup. Was also sent red cabbage, not Napa cabbage which changed the consistency a bit.
