Wandysues Homemade Wonton Soup

Ingredients

• 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup shredded or diced cooked pork
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 16 wonton wrappers
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions

Directions

Place broth and cabbage in a large saucepan and set pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine pork, soy sauce and sesame oil. Pulse 3 or 4 times until the pork is finely minced but not a paste.

Arrange 16 wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Spoon filling onto the center of each wrapper, to within 1/4-inch of the edges (about 1 teaspoon per wrapper). Wet your fingers with water and pull up corners of the wontons to create individual "purses". Pinch the edges together (with wet fingers) to seal.

Place stuffed wontons in simmering broth. Cook 5 minutes, until wontons are tender and translucent. Remove from heat and stir in scallions.

Wandysues Homemade Pretzels

Ingredients:

2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of butter
2 packs of yeast
2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 cup of sugar
7 cups of flour
2 eggs
1 cups of confectioners sugar
1 cup of water
1 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of chopped almonds

Directions:

1. Warm the butter and milk and then mix in the salt, sugar, flour (1 cup) and yeast. Mix all ingredients for approximately 3 minutes. Add cup of flour and eggs. Mix for another 2 minutes. 

2. Then, add flour until it forms into a soft dough and knead for a few minutes until smoothed out. Next, put the dough into a bowl which is already greased. Let the dough rise for approximately 1 hour in a warm place until it has doubled in size.

3. Push the dough down and then let it rise again for 1 hour until it has doubled in size. Take the dough and divide it in half. 

4. Shape the pretzel by rolling the dough into a long rope approximately 25 inches in length and about 1 inch in width. Cross each end leaving a large circle opening in the center. Flip the loop back over the crossed ends to form the pretzel. Repeat with remaining dough. Put the pretzels onto a greased baking sheet. Allow the pretzel dough to rise for another 10 minutes and then place into a 350 degree oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Then, cool pretzels on a wire rack. Lastly, mix the water, vanilla, and confectioners sugar, which will form an icing. Spread the icing onto the pretzels and then sprinkle with the chopped almonds.
