WON TON SOUP WITH PORK AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Additional salted water is to be used to pre-cook won tons before placing in broth.
• Put water and 1 tsp salt in a stock pot; when all wrappers are filled, heat water to a boil.
• Combine stock ingredients (excepting snow peas,) in a 2 quart stock pot; gently simmer while preparing won tons.
• Mix all filling ingredients in a pie pan, then flatten mixture to cover the base of the pan; divide (as cutting a pie) into 12 wedges so each won ton will contain similar amounts of filling.
• Keep unfilled/filled wrappers covered with a damp towel to keep them from drying.
• Place each portion of filling on the center of a wrapper; moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold like an envelope, making sure all edges are adhered.
• When all wrappers are filled, gently drop into boiling salted water; add 1/2 cup cold water and return to a boil, stirring gently so won tons don't stick to bottom of pan.
• When won tons begin to float, cook for an additional minute then remove from water and drain; won tons will adhere to each other, so separate them.
• Remove scallions/green onions and ginger slice from simmering broth and add halved snow peas and drained won tons; heat thoroughly, then portion 3 won tons in 4 bowls, with snow peas and broth divided among the bowls.

PORK WON TON

Steps:

• Combine the pork, water chestnuts, scallion or green onion, monosodium glutamate, sugar, salt, wine, soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper in a mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly with the fingers.
• Spoon about one-and-one-half to two teaspoons of the pork mixture in the center of a won ton skin.
• Fold one side of the won ton skin to enclose the filling, rolling it cigar-fashion. Press the ends to seal.
• Brush the upper portion of one sealed end with a little beaten egg.
• Bring the ends together. As you bring them together, give the unbrushed end a 180-degree twist and press this end against the egg-brushed end. Pinch lightly to seal.
• Continue filling the skins until all of them are filled and sealed.
• Bring two quarts of water to the boil. Add the won ton. When the water returns to the boil, cook the won ton one-and-one-half minutes. Add about half a cup of cold water, let the water return to the boil again and cook for about another minute. When the won ton rise to the top of the water, they are done.
