Title: Won Ton Soup (Won Ton Tong)
Categories: Chinese, Soups, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

30 Won ton filled according to
-won ton recipe
1 c Roast pork, sliced
1 qt Chicken and pork stock [Or
-either one. S.C.]
2 Stalks green onions, minced
1 ts Sesame oil [The dark,
-cooked Oriental type. S.C.]

You can fiddle with the ingredients to your hearts content. Roast
pork is available at Chinese markets and you could probably get it to
go at Chinese restaurants. Or try meat from good ol’ American BBQ
ribs, slivered. Or thinly sliced raw chicken. Or thinly sliced
shrimp or scallops. Or no meat at all…

Yield: 4 servings

PREPARATION:

Prepare won ton filling and wrap as in won ton recipe. Heat stock.

COOKING:

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add won ton and boil for 4 to 5
minutes. Remove won ton with bamboo skimmer or slotted spoon and
transfer to soup bowls. Garnish with roast pork and green onions.
Pour heated stock over won ton. Drizzle sesame oil over won ton and
serve.

DO-AHEAD NOTES;

Wrap and freeze won ton. Drop frozen won ton directly into boiling
water and boil for 5 to 6 minutes.

COMMENTS:

Unless you’re Chinese you probably don’t know what won ton means.
“Won” means cloud and “Ton” means swallow. Since won ton wrappers
are light and fragile as clouds, biting onto won ton is like
swallowing a cloud.

Mud Pie #2

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pies Crusts
Chocolate Freezer
Ice Cream

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–CRUST—–
12 Oreo cookies — crushed well
3 tablespoons Butter — melted
1 quart Coffee ice cream
—–MUD SAUCE—–
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup Miniature marshmallows
1 cup Evaporated milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
—–GARNISH—–
1 cup Whipping cream — whipped
2 ounces Kahlua liqueur
1/4 cup Powdered sugar
1/2 cup Nuts — chopped

Combine cookie crumbs and butter and press into bottom of buttered 9-10″ pie
pan. Refrigerate. When chilled, spoon one-half softened ice cream on top of
crust.
Pour half of Mud Sauce over ice creeam and proceed with another layer of ice
cream and top off with the remaining Mud Sauce.
Mud Sauce: In medium saucepan, melt the sauce ingredients over medium heat,
stirring constantly until mixture thickens, adding vanilla after removing sauce
from heat. Cool long enough so as to not melt the ice cream while pouring Mud
Sauce over it. Top with Garnish and freeze. Garnish: Whip cream, add powdered
sugar and Kahlua. Decorate top of Mud Pie with Garnish: Use decorating bag with
star or shell tip or spread whipped cream over pie and sprinkle top with finely
chopped nuts. Freeze solid.

Ideas: Double the recipe and use a buttered 9 x 13″ pan. This should serve 24
persons. If you don’t like nuts on top, try chocolate curls. Use a block of
chocolate and with a potato peeler, peel the chocolate along one of the edges.
Use chocolate at room temperature or else you’ll get bits and pieces of
shavings.
