Do not use rice vinegar!! & Sesame oil!!

This was OK but not anything like PF Changs. I added a bit more sugar, more soy sauce and some ground thai peppers to add some spice since it came out very shrimp tasting.

This was a very close version of what PF Chang's actually makes. I think it is a little different but it's still delicious.

This is really good, flavorful soup. Prep time took much more than 20 minutes (the wontons take a long time!), but the soup was delicious. The only changes I made were to use bok choy instead of spinach and ground chicken for the pork. Leftovers don't hold up too well as the wontons tend to fall apart. I really enjoyed this soup though, thanks for posting!

I used 12 cups broth - some homemade some store bought, no water chestnuts. Added bok choy, chinese cabbage, broccoli, carrots, snow peas and noodles. We did the wonton recipe and the one from 318453 which had some five spice powder. I was trying to replicate some hearty special chinese soups we have had in restaurants and it was darn close.
