So happy you tried all the 8 styles. Fun wasn't it? <BR/><BR/>I love the photos you put up. I wish I could take good pictures like you. Mine always turns up blurred. Shaky hands I guess. <BR/><BR/>A tip -- The next time you make wonton soup, boil the wontons separately in boiling water.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, you won't need to test whether the wontons are cooked. Cooked ones float to the top. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, you will get clearer soup. The flour from the wrappers does cloud the soup a bit, unless you like a slightly silky soup.<BR/><BR/>Great job! Wish I was dining with you. :)Phoebe Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826208993031851858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153845121894627510.post-53227735558184364742008-11-11T18:06:00.000-06:002008-11-11T18:06:00.000-06:00Oh by the way, we use bok choy alot.

Cook bacon and then add the bok choy and bean sprouts...yummy!Jaime and Jen DISHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437627464286481664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153845121894627510.post-19796661652518431182008-11-11T11:35:00.000-06:002008-11-11T11:35:00.000-06:00Mandy...you gotta be kidding me...this looks aweso...Mandy...you gotta be kidding me...this looks awesome...(and I'm laughing because I just called you Mandy, and we haven't even met...I'm social like that)...my husband's 1/4 chinese and his mom makes the best chinese food and I stink at it.

I guess that's what happens when you are 8 1/2 months pregnant, EVERYTHING is edible. No seriously, that soup looks soo good. I noticed that you used frozen shrimpers, have you purchased shrimp with their heads on it? The meat is SO unreal. It's true when they say, don't cut the fish's head off, cook it with it's body, keeps the flavor inside the meat of the fish and obviously it pertains to shrimp. I usually get shrimp with their heads on at an oriental store. It's yums.Jenifer (and_she_makes_four)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02918765331312153560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153845121894627510.post-89251593749017107782008-11-11T11:03:00.000-06:002008-11-11T11:03:00.000-06:00I love wonton soup but I never find the stuff I ge...I love wonton soup but I never find the stuff I get from our local Chinese takeout restaurant that great and for some reason I never think of making it at home. Yours looks soooo much better than the stuff I usually see in restaurants. Good inspiration. I'll have to make this one of these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153845121894627510.post-77425569509559260672008-11-11T08:39:00.000-06:002008-11-11T08:39:00.000-06:00OMG, that looks SO delish, I want some now!!! I lo...OMG, that looks SO delish, I want some now!!! I love making fried won-tons dipped in a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic and a pinch of pepper. I'll blog that when I make it.
