  1. I followed the wonton filling as posted and they were delicious.Exactly as I was looking for. But for the broth I combined alot of other ingredients to add to chicken broth. Like bok choy, green onions,garlic,soya and a dash of ginger. It was delicious. I didn't use a whole package of the wrappers, I stopped at 28 wontons, found this was plenty for the amount of broth. But these are the wontons that I will be making in the future. Thanks for the post Meg.
     
  2. This recipe is excellent. I've used it a few times and shared with a few friends who all say the same.
     
  3. This is the only recipe close to what we are use to. Vancover B.C. has a huge china town and a great selection of chinese restaraunts. we grew up being treated with soup very close to this recipe.Good job Meg.The key is mixing shrimp with pork
