2. Add roasted chicken carcasses and shrimp shells into the pressure cooker.
3. Add parsley, onion, celery, ginger, and one garlic clove to the pressure cooker.
4. Add black peppercorns and fill with cold water up to the two-thirds line.
5. Pressure cook for one hour.
6. Prepare the wonton filling: put 1 pound of ground pork into a bowl.
7. Grate two cloves of garlic and about a tablespoon of ginger into the pork.
8. Chop 4-5 green onions, separating the whites from the dark greens.
9. Add the white parts of the green onions into the pork mixture.
10. Add rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and one teaspoon of chicken bouillon to the pork.
11. Crush Sichuan peppercorns with kosher salt.
12. Add the crushed peppercorns and salt, two teaspoons of sesame oil, and one teaspoon of cornstarch to the pork mixture.
13. Mix the pork filling thoroughly with your hands in a circular motion until it feels whipped.
14. Take extra thin wonton skins and keep them covered to prevent drying.
15. Moisten the perimeter of a wonton skin, add a little pork filling, and fold point to point, pushing out the air.
16. Bend the bottom and moisten the tips, then bring them together to make them kiss.
17. Repeat until you have 45-50 wontons, keeping them covered as you work.
18. Strain the cooked stock, ensuring to remove all solids.
19. Pour the strained stock through cheesecloth to further clarify it.
20. Taste and season the stock as needed.
21. Bring the stock to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
22. Add baby bok choy to the stock and boil for 5 minutes.
23. Turn off the heat and add the cooked shrimp to the soup to prevent overcooking.
24. Let the shrimp sit in the hot soup for 4 minutes to warm through.
25. In a separate pot, boil the wontons for 3-4 minutes. Boil them separately because of the cornstarch, which can thicken the stock.
26. Serve the wontons in a bowl, add the dark green onions, shrimp, and bok choy.
27. Pour the hot stock over the wontons and enjoy your homemade wonton soup.
