Semi-Homemade Asian Wonton Soup

The challenge for me as a cook is to create a meal as good as it can be with very few ingredients. These meals are semi-homemade with some of the main ingredients which are able to be bought in the frozen section of supermarkets. Today, I will introduce the popular Chinese wonton soup that one can easily be prepared at home with two main ingredients, such as ready-made wonton and Ramen noodles. The rest of the ingredients can be added more or less to your own liking. Also, follow the instructions to cook noodles unless the recipe says otherwise. This bowl of soup is wonderful and saves a lot of time for busy moms.

Ingredients:
1 package Ramen noodles
2 cups chicken broth
7 ready-made won tons
1 cup sliced Napa cabbage or bok choy
1/2 carrot, sliced
1/4 cup daikon
Soy sauce, salt, and black pepper
1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro

Directions:
In a pot of water, add chicken broth, carrots, and daikon and bring to boil.
Bring another pot of water to boil. Remove the Ramen noodles and discard the seasonings. Blanch the noodles for 30 seconds or 1 minute. Drain.
Season the broth with salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil and add the Napa cabbage. . Add won tons and cook for 1 minute.
Place Ramen noodles on the bottom of a serving bowl. Arrange the won tons and pour the rest of the soup over them.

Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.
