Wonton Soup

In continuation of the wonton recipe posted yesterday, I made some lovely soup to combine it with. It's simple and once you have the dumplings, it's a great way to avoid getting fed up with eating the same.
Ingredients:
250g Shitake mushrooms
1 red pepper
1 tsp chinese 5 spice (find it in asian food stores)
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 l chicken stock
Freshly chopped cilantro
16-20 uncooked wonton dumblings
Soy sauce
Sesame oil

Chop the msuhrooms and peppers.

Fry the mushrooms and peppers for 10 minutes. The longer you fry shitake mushrooms, the more flavour they develope. After 10 minutes, add the ginger.

Add the 5 spice.

Add the chicken stock and cook 30 minutes under lid. I used a pressure cooker so it took a bit less.

Add freshly chopped cilantro and dump in the portion of wonton dumblings. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Taste. If it needs salt, use soy sauce. Add some sesame oil for taste.

Serve and enjoy.
