Wonton Soup with Pork Dumplings
There is something genuinely comforting about a bowl of wonton soup made from scratch. I know it sounds like a project but folding wontons is actually very meditative and the whole thing comes together in about 40 minutes. The broth is light and fragrant with ginger and the pork wontons are tender and savory. This has become one of my favorite things to make on a cold Kansas City evening.
