What do you do when you have a mother who thinks you don't eat enough and is constantly pushing packages of food onto you? Little does she know that I eat quite a lot, thank you very much!Anyway, my mum makes great wontons, so I wasn't going to say no to a couple of boxes of frozen wontons. They freeze well and are just the thing when you want to eat something simple without too much effort.
These wontons have a soft, silky wrapper and contain chicken, dried shrimp, dried mushrooms and spring onions. I cooked them in boiling water (till they rise to the surface, then for another 2 minutes or so). They are served with soba noodles in a soy-based stock, although I prefer ramen noodles but didn't have any on hand at the time.
Best dinner, ever!
Frozen wontons about to meet boiling water; great noodles in packet; free at last!
Floating wontons + noodles in soup = perfect dinner!
giant frozen batches of wontons are an absolute Godsend. and i love that even though dinner takes five minutes (if that) to make, you feel like you're eating something wholesome & healthy!
ReplyDeletehow do you do your soy stock?
It's nice to be looked after by your mum, especially if it means home made food! It's great to have a standby in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl! I wouldn't say no to wontons that good either! They look perfectly made, perhaps your mum could be a guest blogger on your site and show us how to make them? :)
ReplyDeletehi shez - I feel exactly the same way! And it's even better when someone else makes them. For the soup, I just boil some fresh water and add some soy sauce and maybe a packet of seasoning from those 2 minute noodles, or some miso paste.
ReplyDeletehi Arwen - I don't like to admit it that often, but I do appreciate mum's cooking!
hi Anita - what a great idea! I'll have to persuade mum to get her hands dirty while I photograph the goods.
wontons! delicious, esp with dry noodles and soya sauce!
ReplyDeletehi burpandslurp - my sentiments exactly!
