Ingredients

Won tons ~1/2 lb. ground sausage (or other meat)1 stalk celery1/4 cup carrot1 green onion8oz. package mushrooms1 can sliced water chestnuts1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds1/2 tsp. ground ginger1/2 tbsp. garlic powder1 tbsp soy sauceabout 40+ won ton wrappersBroth ~16 cups water10 chicken bouillon cubes2 tsp. sesame oil1 tbsp garlic powder1 tsp miso1 tsp ground ginger1 small napa cabbage, about 8 cups2 green onions

Directions

1) Place sausage in a medium sized mixing bowl. Mince the celery, carrot, green onion, 1/3 of the mushrooms, and 1/2 of the water chestnuts. Add to bowl, reserving the rest of the mushrooms and water chestnuts for the broth. Add the sesame seeds, ginger, garlic powder, and soy sauce and mix well.

2) Time to fold the won tons! You will be using about 1 tsp. of the sausage mixture per won ton wrapper. There are many ways to fold the wrappers, so feel free to experiment. I would recommend this style ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL3lNAhRXBA~ if you are using square wrappers, or this for round wrappers ~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuJNziiI1_A&feature=related

3) In a large soup pot, mix the water, bouillon, sesame oil, garlic powder, miso, and ground ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to medium.

4) Meanwhile, coarsely chop the reserved mushrooms and water chestnuts. Slice the napa cabbage and green onions into thin strips. Once the water is at a low boil, add these ingredients along with your won tons to the broth. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the won ton wrappers have turned translucent and wrinkly and the meat is cooked through. Makes 8 servings with 5-6 won tons per person.

Tips-
Feel free to leave out an ingredient or two from the won ton mixture or broth, or substitute with vegetables you already have on hand. You definitely need the wrappers, the broth, and the ground meat helps hold the filling together, but otherwise, have fun experimenting.

The won tons can be cooked ahead of time and warmed up to serve, but do not wrap them until you are ready to cook. If they sit around too long, the moisture from the filling will make the wrappers doughy and sticky, and they will pull apart when you try to pick them up. I'm going to see how well they freeze next time around and will report back.

Lumpia or Filipino Egg Roll

This is one type of Lumpia (Tagalog for Eggroll-it's a Filipino Eggroll). I prefer using Ground Beef and Ground Pork but you can use the Ground Chicken or Ground Turkey along with the Pork also. I DO NOT COOK MY MEAT AND VEGGIES I prefer to mix them together in a bowl with the seasonings and then roll them in the Lumpia to a somewhat small size then deep fry them. They are more flavorful that way. You can cook it if you want to but it may not come out as well. I also prefer to use Chinese Yard Long Pole Beans cut into small diagonal pieces instead of regular Green Beans. I also use MSG in some of my cooking or otherwise known as Accent. It does help to bring flavors out in your cooking, but, this is optional for anyone else but me. I do not use regular Egg Roll Wraps. I prefer to use Lumpia Wraps(o'tasty spring roll wraps is the commercial name for them in the stores) which are larger and come in crepe thin slices. I also prefer to seal my wrappers with raw egg. It comes out better that way but you can use water-flour paste also. I also prefer to cut my veggies into tiny matchstick pieces. It's better that way in the Lumpia but you can do it anyway you want. For a dipping sauce you can use the Lumpia Sauce recipe below but in mine I turn it into a Sweet and Sour Sauce by making Annatto Water and adding 1/3 cup to the recipe instead of water, and 1/4 c crushed pineapples in juice. You can also mix in bits of bell pepper if you like. This is the Annatto Water recipe aka Achiote Water also: In a small heavy saucepan, heat the water over medium heat. Add the annatto seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until the water becomes a rich, orange-red color, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the water into a jar, discarding the seeds, and keep covered in the refrigerator. You can do the same thing using Oil to make Annatto Oil. I also prefer to use just the soy sauce and about 1/4 vinegar mixed with fresh, not cooked, garlic and onion diced up and crushed with a bit of black pepper or chili peppers crushed in as a dipping sauce. I also like to use 1/4 Fish Sauce(Patis) mixed with 1/2 Lemon or Lime Juice for dipping also.
