Wonton Soup Recipe

So I'm making this right now, WonTon Soup. Delicious, delightful dumplings! You want the recipe, here we go

WonTon Soup - straight from my kitchen!

250g packet of fresh WonTon wrappers
2 litres stock ( you make it how you like it)
500g chicken mince
1 egg
chilli sauce
soy sauce

So add your stock to the pot, add the chilli sauce and soy sauce (I don't measure, add how much you like) Bring to the boil.

While you are waiting for the soup to boil, make the little dumplings. Put the chicken mince in a bowl with the egg and mix until combined with a fork. Lay the wrappers out on the bench and put about 1 -2 teaspoon of the chicken on each.

Now for the tricky bit, have a small bowl of water to dip your finger in here. Wet 2 sides of the dumpling with your finger, then fold over diagonal to form a triangle. Now bring the 2 points up to the middle, twist a little forming a little dumpling.


Okay, so the soup is boiling, add those dumplings and let cook for 20-25 minutes. They will smell awesome.

Ladel some out and eat, no time to add pretty embelishments.

Basic Throw Cushion Tutorial

I love making cushion covers for my home. Here is a quick simple idea to recycle a button up shirt and turn in into something beautiful for the home.

You will need-
1 Button up shirt
Cushion
Embellishments

Measure the size of your cushion. Add 1/2 an inch to the size of your cushion to allow for stitching.

For the back of the cushion - cut 1 piece on the front of the shirt. Be sure to centre the buttons as this will be the cushion opening.  For the front - cut 1 piece from the back of the shirt. 

Embellish the front piece anyway you like or you could leave it plain if the shirt has a nice pattern.  I used a plain shirt so I added some fabrics from my scrap stash and appliqued some letters on it.

On the buttoned piece, stitch about 1 inch to the edge where the buttons are to hold the pieces together.
Unbutton some of the buttons.  Place the 2 pieces right sides together. Stitch all the way around using a 1/4 inch seam.  You can over lock or zigzag stitch the edges for durability.

Turn the completed cushion right side out through the opening. Insert your cushion. Button up.
Enjoy!
