butterflydreamingA craving for won ton soup led to a plan to pick up the needed ingredients at Uwajimaya today. L, helped me out. The soup came out deliciously. We didn't have a recipe, but L makes a lot of "Asian flavored soup" as she calls it, and really, it's soup.
For the ghosties, I lucked out with 1/3 lb of organic shitake mushrooms at half price*. About the same amount of black fungus mushroom, then a large button mushroom, fresh garlic, and green onions chopped up, I seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper jelly, with an egg for binding. The soup broth was ginger, mirin, soy sauce, and nappa cabbage, green peas, and carrots.
It was !delicious! and only took a few minutes to cook. All the time is prep, with the chopping of the won ton filling. Rose brand won ton wrappers are as good tasting as their fortune cookies are.
In my dream house, the kitchen is the biggest room after the library. I love being able to cook with other people for company or won ton forming. Parties always gravitate to the kitchen. You can never have too much counter space.
*Hot tip for Seattleites: Ostrom dried mushrooms are also on sale at Uwajimaya right now, for the crazy price of 99 cents. You can find them on an endcap by the rice bags. I bought one of the mixed mushroom packs that has Bolete, Lobster, and Morel mushrooms in it, which I imagine is going to end up in some wild rice.
