Top Dinner

I made Chinese food for dinner the other night. On the menu was General Tao’s chicken with steamed broccoli and basmati rice, served with an egg-roll. For an appetizer, homemade wanton soup.

I had frozen wanton wrappers, but as I defrosted them, they were cracked and dry. So I decided to bust out my pasta machine and make some fresh dough and roll out some wrappers for the wantons and the egg-rolls. That took a little more time, but I was very pleased with the outcome. I used the same dough for both even though I wasn’t sure that it would work. But it did.

I made a dipping sauce for the egg-rolls too. It had cilantro, cashews and some other ingredients. 🙂 It was delish.
