Hi! Looking for some food ideas huh? Well I am thankful for some pre-packaged stuff, but I love when I can mix fresh and FAST together. Check out this dinner!
Tj's Won Ton Soup
ANY pre-packaged frozen pot stickers-I used Trader Joe's chicken (serving is 7 for 4 WWpts.)
2 whole carrots-peeled and sliced at an angle
handful of sugar peas
handful of fresh mushrooms
2-3 green onions-diced
couple of handfuls of bok choy-chopped up
1 inch piece of fresh ginger-peeled and cut in half
chicken bouillon
See how EXACT I am with measurements! lol Ok so I used 5 cups of water-adding 5 teaspoons of chicken bouillon to that. Tossed in the fresh ginger to also flavor the broth. This comes out tasty! Then I added the carrots-boiled till cooked slightly-then fished those out. I cooked the mushrooms the same way-separately. Then in a microwave safe dish I cooked the pot stickers per directions on package- put those aside. Bring broth back to a boil- remove ginger pieces (throw away) add in bok choy, sugar peas, and green onions. Let boil a few minutes. I like all of the veggies still a little crisp- but you can cook them to your liking. Once bok choy is slightly cooked add in mushrooms and carrots. Stir in cooked pot stickers. I serve mine with hot chinese mustard. YUM!
Off to get ready to head out to spend the day with my Mom. I also need to dig out my Christmas box. I love decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving. Gets me in the festive mood! :) You can bet that I'm going to eat another turkey sandwich today! I took home 4oz. for a sandwich yesterday and it was leftover heaven! lol
Have a great weekend everyone! :) BYE!

ReplyDeleteI already put up my Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I am typing by the light of the sparking lights as we speak.
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks tasty. I might use my turkey stock as a base. I wonder how that would taste? I plan o boiling my turkey carcass to make some turkey stock for future recipes.
Yum! I just love all soups, and that one looks like a winner!
