Won Ton Soup
"This is from the Diana Liu cookbook. To make the broth; 1 can chicken broth+2 cans water. Add 1 thumb-size piece of fresh ginger and 1 whole green onion. Remove ginger and onion before serving. The won tons are heavy with ginger flavor so use according to your taste. If fried won ton is preferred, deep fry the won ton in hot oil until brown and crisp. Drain and serve with sweet and sour sauce."
