Halloween Noodle Bowl


This is my take on an Asian noodle soup. I make a big pot and it's good for two days.
The won tons remind me of mini (tasty) ghosts. Feel free to add whatever vegetables you wish.
Aside from making the individual won tons, this soup is quick and easy to make...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

For the broth:

In your soup pot, add 2 boxes chicken stock, pinch of red pepper flakes, grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp sesame oil. Bring to a boil, then put on low heat.

Prep another large pot beside, with boiling water for won tons.

Won ton filling:
Mix together: 1 package ground pork, 3 chopped scallions, freshly grated ginger, 1 tsp ground cumin, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 dashes of soy sauce, 1 well-beaten egg and some bread crumbs.

- Have on hand, defrosted won ton wrappers, and a bowl of egg wash to seal them.
- I find it easier to place filling on each wrapper first, then sealing and boiling 6 at a time.
- Once they float to the top, place them in the broth.
Other add-ins:
When all the won tons are done and in the broth, I added fresh broccoli, half an orange pepper and some chow mein noodles to the pot. You want your veggies to be nice and crunchy! Let sit for 5 minutes and then dig in!
