Chinese New Year is next week and while we have already celebrated New Years a few weeks ago why not throw another celebration just because. I am a true believer that get-togethers are the thing that gets most people through the dark winter months.
I absolutely love the concept of throwing a dumpling party having friends get together and make stuff is always a plus in my book! Aside from the lamb and pumpkin, vegetarian and dipping sauce in the aforementioned link here a bunch more awesome dumpling fillings:
The cool part about a dumpling party is that there is about a million ways to serve dumplings. They can be steamed, pan fried, deep fried,
baked or boiled, so there is something to suit everyone. While I love fired dumplings, especially dipped in duck sauce I especially love wonton soup.

Typically when you order wonton soup from the usual Asian take out service you get a flavorful broth packed with dumplings, and a few chives on top. For this recipe I wanted a few more vegetables involved, because um I love them?
The result was pretty much heaven. I suggest making this, even if you don’t throw the party. It’s worth all of the effort to hand wrap all those wontons!
Wonton Soup with Vegetables (Serves 6)
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 carrot julienned
¼ cup peas
2 baby bok choy
3 green onions, sliced thin
About 36-40 wontons (I used this recipe)
Heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger
and sauté for 1 minute. Add the broth and carrots and bring to a simmer,
cooking for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the peas, bok choy, and green onions until
well combined and cook for an additional minute. Gently stir in wontons and
cook for another 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
