CHICKEN WONTON SOUP

With a few exceptions, North American Chinese food is a grease fest and authentic Chinese food is a bit weird for my European taste buds so once again here is another example of a Chinese European fusion.

CHICKEN WONTON SOUP
250 g ground chicken
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 package wonton wrappers
4 cups chicken broth
1 carrot, matchstick sliced
4 green onions

• Combine first four ingredients.
• Wrap one teaspoon of meat mixture in each wonton wrap.
• Lay out a wrapper and place 1 tsp of  meat mixture in the center.
• Dip your finger in water and spread along two edges of each wrapper.
• Fold each in half on the diagonal to form a triangle and press the seams to seal securely.
• Place on a baking sheet.
• Repeat until all the stuffing is used. Refrigerate wontons until needed.
• In a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over high heat.
• Add the carrots and cover the pot and turn off the heat.
• At the same time, bring a large soup pot half-full of water to a boil.
• Carefully drop some wontons into the boiling water.
• Make sure the wontons are not crowded.
• When the water returns to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer.
• Cook the wontons until the filling is cooked through in 4-5 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the wontons to the chicken broth.
• Cook the rest of the wontons and transfer them to the broth.
• Add the green onions and bring the broth to slow simmer.
• Simmer until the onionst wilt, for about 1 minute.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
