Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 green onions -- minced

1/2 cup drained water chestnuts -- minced

4 dried shiitake mushrooms -- reconstituted in boiling

water, trimmed, and minced

1/2 cup bean sprouts (that have been rinsed in hot

water, drained, and chopped)

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot

1 egg white -- lightly beaten

24 won-ton wrappers

4 green onions -- minced

1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

8 cups vegetable stock OR 5 cups canned broth

diluted with 3 cups water

1/2 cup chopped watercress

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

1/8 teaspoon pepper

 

Keep won ton wrappers under a damp towel so they don't dry out.

Mix all filling ingredients (first 6 ingredients) in a bowl.

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Have a small bowl of water handy

to seal won tons. Place a won ton on the table with one point facing you. Put

about 1 teaspoon of filling on bottom half of wrapper. Working quickly so won

ton does not dry out, brush edges with water. Fold top of wrapper over filling,

pressing edges of wrappers together to seal it securely. Bend won ton as though

you were going to fold it in half again and press the remaining 2 points

together.

Lightly flour a cooie sheet. Set won tons on flour to keep from sticking and

cover with plastic wrap. Repeat filling and folding won tons until wrappers and

filling are used up. Cook as quickly as possible to keep from drying out.

Slide won tons into a pot of boiling water and cook over medium-high heat about

6 minutes. With a slotted spoon remove won tons to a large, shallow bowl. Add

onions and oil.

Bring stock to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add won tons just to heat

through.

Ladle soup and won tons into individual soup bowls. Sprinkle with watercress

and serve warm.
