Wonton Chicken Pot (2008-03-19)
Don't remember when I saw a scene on TV in which actors were eating a pot of wonton chicken in a Hong Kong drama series, but that image really stuck in my head--not the scene or the actors, but that big pot of wonton chicken.
So I made one to sate my craving. I have no idea how to make
such a dish. All I did was making wontons (meaning stuffing
seasoned minced pork into wrappers), simmering a chicken in
half-strength
stock with a couple of slices of ginger and some scallion for an hour,
precooking the raw wontons in water for 5 minutes and adding them in
the
chicken stock with some briefly blanched Chinese greens. Of
course you'll have to season the soup for taste.
The result is a big pot of delicious wontons/veggies/chicken soup. Not difficult to make though it does take some time to cook.
