    My absolute favorite. Not only low calorie and delicious, but you can get a hot bowl of soup in front of your face in about 10-15 minutes. And it doesn’t get boring because you can make it a little different each time. Different veggies. They make a few variations of the wontons with different filling. More calories to eat? Add and egg or pulled pork. I like to add chili oil and sesame oil to the broth.

    Or lightly pan fry the wontons and serve on a plate with grilled or sautéed vegetables. I like to dip them in hot Chinese mustard.

    A half serving is a really satisfying snack and just over 100 calories. 6 of those with some mustard as a snack is so much more satisfying than the calorie equivalent in tortilla chips or cheese cubes.

    Wontons are awesome volume food. I made my own wontons a couple months ago because I had a crapton of wonton wrappers left over from trying to make mozzarella sticks with them.

    Only thing I did different was I used ground chicken instead of pork and I left out the miso paste because I didn’t have any. They didn’t come out super pretty, but they’re only like 30 calories each and tasty. So I can load up a huge bowl of broth with a bunch of these little wontons and still have a meal for under 300 calories.

    They’re a little time-consuming to make, but they freeze well and they’re convenient. If I can figure out where I found the recipe for the ones I made, I will share it.

  3. I love making dumpling soup! I have seasoned the broth with sriracha, black garlic paste, miso, or kimchi. I often add greens like kale, spinach or whatever. Sometimes I’ll crack in an egg or add a ramen egg if I have one. Top with scallions or cilantro too.

  4. I’ve never thought to try this and now I’m angry I already finished my last bag…..
