Won Ton

It has been a busy quarter at school.. I totally forgot about this blog.. Oops.. However, I'll try and keep this up and working next year. So this is my parent's won ton. Yummy! I plan to try this out for myself this week. Let's see how that goes.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of boneless pork leg (ground)
• half a bag of dried black fungus strips (cloud ears)
• 3 stalks of celery
• shrimp
  
• Dried shitake mushrooms
• 2 packages of won ton skins
• 3 chicken bouillon cubes
• Chinese broccoli
• Fried tofu
• Egg white won ton noodles
  

Directions:
Soak the mushrooms and fungus so they soften.

Peel shrimp and marinate with MSG and salt. Allow it to sit and marinate. Later, chop into small bits to be wrapped. You can omit the MSG if you want.

Chop celery and fungus.

Mix meat, celery, and fungus together. Sprinkle MSG (less than a teaspoon, and add pepper and garlic powder (Add enough so that you can smell it). Next, add about a tablespoon of corn starch and 3 tablespoons of fish sauce. Mix together and then at the top put a small spoon of oil. Let marinate for 2 hours.

Saute mushrooms adding some garlic powder to flavor, and then dice.

Peel the won ton skins. Take a spoonful of meat, mushroom, and shrimp.

Boil water and toss in the wan ton. Do not over fill the pot. You may have to cook them in batches. When the wontons float take them out. If there is extra meat left over, throw in to make meat balls.

To make broth, boil 3 bouillon cubes in a small pot with water. When they have totally disintegrated strain out black particles with a cheese cloth. Pour into a larger pot and add water. While the soup is cooking any left over shrimp or mushrooms throw in. Cook the chinese broccoli and warm tofu in soup. When these are all warmed or cooked place on top of the noodles.

Now to make won ton noodles you must cook each bowl separately. Separate the amount of noodles per person while at the same time opening up the noodles. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, while boiling throw in noodles. Allow to cook for 25 seconds or so and quickly strain out noodles.

Place tofu, won tons, broccoli, and any extra items in bowl and pour soup once it has boiled.

* To make the dip for the won ton, mix soy sauce and red vinegar together.
