Chef Joeys Easy Sauerkraut Won Tons Recipes

SIMPLE WON TON SOUP

Steps:

• Chop the raw chicken breasts into very fine pieces and place in a medium bowl.
• Add green onions, ginger, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce,salt, pepper and oil. Marinate for at least 1/2 hour.
• Place the broth ingredients in a large pot (dutch oven) and bring to simmer.
• Fill the won ton wrappers by placing about 1/2 teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper, moisten edges with water or egg white and fold into a triangle. Press edges to seal.
• Using a dutch oven, or large pot, bring about 8 cups of water to a boil.
• Drop the won tons into the boiling water a few at a time so that they are not over crowded (maybe 10 - 12 won tons) and let cook for about 5 - 7 minutes. They will float to the top as they cook.
• Remove from boiling water with slotted spoon and place the won tons directly into the broth.
• Simmer 10-15 minutes longer, then serve.

RIDICULOUSLY EASY 4-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CHIP WON TONS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Place about 1 Tablespoon of mixture in the middle of each won ton wrapper (a cookie scooper is the perfect amount and makes this step much easier). Wet edges of wrapper with water and seal tightly, making sure you get as much air out as possible. Fry in very hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Drain in paper towel-lined bowl.
• Dust with powdered sugar and cocoa, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

HOMEMADE CHEESE RAVIOLI MADE WITH WON TON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl put the first 5 ingredients and stir until well combined.
• Put around 1 heaping Tablespoon of the filling on a won ton wrapper.
• Wet the edges of the won ton wrapper with either water or beaten egg.
• Top with another won ton and seal the edges tightly together.
• I place the filled won tons on a plate, separating each layer with plastic wrap.
• Finish putting together the raviolies. You can either cook them immediately or put them in the fridge until later on in the day. Make sure that they are well covered so that they don't dry out in the fridge.
• When it is time to cook the raviolies, fill a dutch oven 2/3 full with water. Add 1-2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil. Add around 10-12 won tons and let the water come to a boil again. Cook 3 minutes only or the raviolies will get too soft and the filling might start to leak out.
• Lift the cooked raviolies from the boiling water and add another batch.
• Keep cooking until you have cooked the desired amount of won tons. Serve at once with desired sauce.

EASY VEGAN RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Mill sunflower seeds into meal consistency then set aside.
• Drain sundried tomatoes and finely chop
• Blend chopped tofu, lemon juice, sea salt, nutritional yeast until ricotta like consistency. It is best not to use a blender for this or you get tofu paste. Add chopped tomatoes, red peppers, and chives. Blend by hand until well mixed. In a small bowl combine tofu mixture with remaining ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Place 1 Tbsp of mixture in center of wonton wrapper (or other vegan ravioli dough rolled out). Wet, crimp and seal edges of wrapper SECURELY or the wrapper will open in the pan and contents will spill out. Spray the bottom of a steamer with a bit of oil. Steam a few at a time making sure to not crowd pan or they will stick to each other and be glue-ey. Spritz with oil after cooking and keep warm on a covered dish while the remainder cook. Toss with a bit more olive oil when all are cooked and sprinkle with a little fresh parsley. Serve topped with favorite vegan sauce and vegan parmesan cheese if desired. (NOTE: We have also deep fried these and had them with a vegan cheese sauce out of the "Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook" as well as a plum type sauce and they were good but more like a rangoon than a ravioli).
