Non-traditional Wonton Soup

This month for #letslunch our theme is Asian food.  I love Asian food; Pho, fresh rolls, squid in black bean sauce, sashimi, bulgogi, jap jae - the variations are endless since 'Asian' covers a very large part of the world's cuisine.  What I also love about it is that it's easy to make your own version at home.  Now I have actually eaten in China, Korea and Japan so I do appreciate that the variations they make are amazing and nothing I would likely be able to accurately reproduce, so I make the dishes my own.
Wonton Soup.  I have had really bad versions and really good versions.  I make it with flavors that I really like so for all my Asian #letslunch pals - please don't cringe, these are just flavors that get me going.


























I start with store-bought wonton wrappers.  Yes, I admit it, I am way too lazy to make my own wrappers.  I do however start with pork loin that I grind myself.  Next I add some toasted sesame oil, minced ginger, an egg white and here's where it diverges from the traditional - I added sliced leeks and 5 spice powder.  I was out of scallions so I used leeks and I add 5 spice powder just because I like it.


























Then all you need to do is drop your fixins into the simmering chicken broth and eat!!
