Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. ground chicken
• 3 garlic cloves--1 finely chopped, 2 thinly sliced
• 1 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 16 wonton wrappers
• 1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
• 4 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix the chicken, chopped garlic, ginger and a third of the scallions, the sesame oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Fold in 2 tbsp. of the beaten eggs.

2. Place the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Using pastry brush or your fingertip, brush the edges of a wrapper with water. Place 1 1/2 tsp of the filling off-center on the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to make a triangle, then press to seal. Fold the sides toward the center, then dab with water and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. In a large pot, bring the stock and sliced garlic to a boil over medium-high heat; season with salt and pepper. Add the dumplings and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the dumplings are cooked through and the mushrooms are tender, 6-7 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to medium. While stirring the soup gently, slowly drizzle in the remaining eggs. Simmer until the eggs are cooked, about 1 minute. Add three-quarters of the remaining scallions; season. Using a spoon, break up any large pieces of egg. Top with the remaining scallions.
