This recipe is pretty much what inspired me to really create a food blog. It is adapted from Seasaltwithfood's recipe for wonton soup. It's very simple to make and so full of flavor. Good enough to give your favorite chinese restaurant a run for it's money!

Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix together all of the ingredients for the wonton filling. Fill each wonton with about 1 - 2 Tsp of the filling. To seal edges brush the sides with a beaten egg. Seasaltwithfood has an amazing explanation on how to fold these here. Or just fold over into a half circle and crimp the sides with a fork.
Teriyaki Chicken & Beef
Ingredients:
1 Package Chicken Tenders
1 Package Thin Sliced Beef
1 Jar Teriyaki marinade
Directions:
Place beef and chicken into two separate bowls. Add enough of the teriyaki marinade to cover the meat. Cover bowls with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for about 3-4 hours.
To cook the meat use a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle with olive oil and place the meat in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd it. Chicken will take roughly 4 minutes on each side. Beef will take roughly 3 minutes on each side, less if you don't like yours well done.
Arrange on plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the carrots. After about a minute or two add the bok choy and pea pods. Cook for another 30 seconds, then take out the vegetables with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Next, cook the wontons. It's useful if you use the same boiling water from the vegetables to cook the wontons. Cook them for 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In separate pot bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
Distribute vegetables and wontons amongst the serving bowls. Ladle on the broth, top with chopped scallions.
