Chinese Take-out Won Ton

Won Ton soup.. sad to say I frequently write it off as a generic, soso soup.. which is really not fair..

It's quite a tasty broth.. the bits of pork and scallion really bulk up the flavor.. I'm not exactly sure what was in the wontons.. but I know they were good. . .

about half way through I dumped a soy sauce packet in, because I like the flavor.. and when I was all out of 'tons, I dropped in the bag of crispy noodles that comes with it (top left.).. which. were. delicious. in the broth.. this was exactly what I should have ordered and thinking back I'm really glad I did.. perfect.

Chinese Take Out

Another soup driven on by lack of want to make a dinner. Ordered up some Chinese food tonight - grabbed a soup I Hadn't had before instead one of the usuals - Hot n Sour, Won-ton, or Egg Drop.

This is Shredded Pork and Pickled Szechuan Cabbage Soup.

Very Spicy - Naturally, but still a good flavor to it. Pretty typical Chinese soup chicken broth underneath the heat.. I was kind of expecting a carrot or some other vegetables besides just the cabbage from prior pickled cabbage experience.. but the lack there of really didn't spoil the soup. The pork was a bit suspect, but then again that's no real surprise.

here's a terribly easy pickled cabbage recipe.

Even better! I've found a recipe!

From there it's just making chicken broth with some soy sauce and shredded pork.
