Wonton Soup

Wonton Soup

Growing up I never looked too deeply into Asian history, however, I always had a respect and great appreciation of the Chinese culture. Being one that thoroughly loves Asian cuisine especially Chinese food I thought what would be better than making some classic Chinese food. I am quick to tackle rice dishes but I am still working on perfecting my rice dishes.

So, although Soup may be one of the last things I think of when I think of Chinese food, wonton soup is one of the most popular dishes that historically the upper class would partake in. With Chinese New Year underway I wanted to share with you all my rendition of the classic Wonton Soup!

This amazing classic traditionally tends to have soy and shellfish, yet, I have made my recipes top 8 allergy-free.

Ingredients:

  • Wong Tong Wrappers
  • Pork; Ground Meat
  • Coco Aminos
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Sesame Oil
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Adobo
  • Green Onion
  • Arrowroot Powder
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Broth
  • Mushroom
  • Salt & Pepper

Materials

  • Mixing bowl
  • Large Mixing Spoon
  • Large Kitchen Knife
  • Small Bowl
  • Medium Cooking Pots

Preparing Wonton Dumplings:

In a large mixing bowl combine the ground pork, adobo, arrowroot, sugar, water, garlic, ginger, onion, aminos, vinegar, and oil to form the filling with your mixing spoon or kitchen spatula.

Once your pork mixture is formed, gather a small bowl of water, a cooking brush, and wonton wrappers (covered with a damp towel) to prepare wonton dumplings.

Take a wonton wrapper and with a cooking brush place water around the parameter of the wrapper and add a teaspoon amount of pork filling to the center of the wrapper

Tip: Be sure to not overwater the parameter of the wonton wrappers, as well as, do not overfill wrapper with your pork filling as these will cause trouble while cooking.

Fold wonton wrapper in two to seal the parameter and gather the bottom edges of dumpling and bond with water for desired dumpling shape.

Place dumpling on a lightly floured cookie sheet and repeat steps 3 through 5 until all filling is used (Yields approx 40-50 dumplings).

Allow dumplings to rest in the refrigerator covered until ready to cook. In a medium cooking pot, begin boiling water for dumplings.

Preparing Soup:

While water begins to boil, in another medium pot begin to cook aminos, oil, garlic, broth, half green onion, salt, and mushroom in medium-low heat.

Tip: Taste broth while cooking if not seasoned enough add salt to your desired taste.

Once the water has been brought to a full boil, begin to cook wontons for 4-6mins until dumplings begin to float.

Tip: Be sure water is at a complete boil before cooking wontons to avoid improper cooking and mushy wontons.

After cooking wontons, remove from water and prepare to serve immediately. To serve, place the desired amount of dumplings and ladle about a cup and a half of broth soup top with chives and serve.

Air Fryer Fried Chicken

Air Fryer Fried Chicken

For the past few holiday seasons air fryers have been all the craze I guess that shows the consumer difference between early adopters and the majority in business marketing. However, since my family adopted an air fryer (or the adult easy bake oven) we have been creating so many great meals with this kitchen accessory.

The last time I can to Herbnstyle with air fryer recipes were my sides and small appetizers vegetable recipes, so now I want to bring a more hardy and classic recipe today. This may be my favorite recipe to make in my air fryer similar to many others with an air fryer and that is fried chicken.

This top 8 allergy-free recipe is also free from corn starches, so check out my flavorful Air Fryer Fried Chicken Wings recipe!

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Wings
  • Baking Powder
  • Arrowroot Powder
  • Old Bay
  • Adobo
  • Tony’s
  • Lemon Pepper

Materials

  • Airfryer
  • Tongs
  • Whisk
  • Large Cooking Knife
  • Avocado Oil Spray
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Medium Mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

In your small mixing bowl whisk together all dry ingredients (baking powder, old bay, adobo, Tony’s, Lemon Pepper, and arrowroot).

With your large kitchen knife begin splitting your whole chicken wings in half, this will yield 6 wings and 6 drumettes.

Tip: Do not clean chicken in the sink, will cause the spread of any potential bacteria into your kitchen that would otherwise be killed while cooking, however, if there are any feathers or extra fat remove with gloves in a separate bowl and discard.

Once wings have been divided, in your large mixing bowl combine wings with dry ingredients until evenly coated.

Tip: For best result do not be afraid to use your hands to mix together the dry ingredients with the wings.

Place wings into air fryer with each wing laying flat onto air fryer rack/pan.

Tip: Avoid overcrowding your air fryer, if your pan size is small do chicken in batches for even cooking. My air fryer required me to make two batches.

Set your air fryer to 350 degrees and time to 15 mins and allow to cook.

After 6-7mins (or halfway) of cooking use tongs to flip chicken and allow wings to finish cooking.

Repeat steps 4 through 6 until all wings are cooked, one all wings are cooked allow to cool and enjoy!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Waffles

Vegan Chocolate Chip Waffles

Traditionally, when Christmas ends and the New Year is around the corner my family always turned to breakfast for dinner recipes going into the new year growing up. It could be anything from an egg and hashbrown casserole to pancakes (or waffles in my case) from IHOP. And there is nothing more breakfast than waffles, quite honestly!

I have always had a thing for waffles personally, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe waffles are better than pancakes. There is something about the fluffy yet crispiness of the golden squares of a waffle that simply satisfies my tastebuds more than a pancake.

Although, I typically go for the classic buttermilk waffle and could have easily made an allergy-friendly recipe, what is herbnstyle without a little challenge. So today I am bringing you all my chocolate chip vegan and allergy-friendly waffles and vanilla glaze!

Ingredients:

  • Gluten-free Flour

Next in your large mixing bowl begin whisking together wet ingredients (Plant milk, vanilla, beet juice, oil, and water)

Once wet and dry ingredients have been combined being to sift dry ingredients into the large bowl with wet ingredients and whisk until batter is formed.

Tip: for a thinner batter incorporate 1-2 tbsps of oil and/or water.

Begin to heat up your waffle maker.

While the waffle maker is heating up begin to mix in chocolate chips into the batter

Tip: feel free to add more chocolate chips to the batter for

Now that the waffle maker is heated follow waffle maker cooking instructions to make waffles. Repeat until all batter is used.

Tip: for my waffle maker I sprayed avocado oil on the heating pans and scooped 1/4 cup of batter and allow to cook for 2-3 mins

Once all waffles are cooked to your liking allow them to cool and begin to make a glaze for waffle topping

For the glaze, whisk together butter, confectioner sugar, vanilla, and milk in a small mixing bowl

Plate waffles and top with glaze, chocolate chips, and confectioner sugar and serve.
