Tonight I wanted wontons (I wonted wantons?). Nice sloppy wet ones in a soup. Despite the fact that we had very little of the stuff I consider essential for a wonton soup. We did, however, have wonton wrappers.
We filled them with:
Finely chopped onion, broccoli, garlic and ginger root, lightly fried.
Cooked brown lentils
Very hot sweet mustard
Hoisin sauce
A splash of vinegar
And cooked them in a broth made of stock, soya sauce, sesame oil, a little sugar and lemon juice (as out of rice wine vinegar), together with thinly sliced carrots, celery and ginger root.
(No amounts for you... Just go with what tastes good. Add a little at a time till it gets to the yum place.)
And it was goo-ood! Sure bok choy or kai-lan and some Chinese noodles would have been awesome, but all in all I was more than satisfied.
Wonton folding instructions abound on the internet, or you can be lazy like me and just fold them into triangles. Just be sure to seal them tightly.
