Baby Bok Choy Soup with Crispy Wontons

Abandoned Edibles
baby bok choy (slightly wilted), egg roll wrappers, Q'uorn chik'n cutlets (chicken substitute made of mushrooms with absurd and annoying spelling of product)
(additional ingredients: ramen noodles, garlic, onion, chicken soup base, soy sauce, etc.)

What I did: rinsed and quartered bok choy. Cut up faux chicken cutlets, onion, garlic, ramen noodles, threw everything together in soup pot. Made base out of that creepy packet of 'spices' found in ramen noodle packages and a few tablespoons of 'better than boullion' soup base. While soup was simmering, I cut up the large egg roll wrappers into smaller strips and fried 'em up to make crispy wontons. Seasoned soup with spices and soy sauce, ladled into bowl, garnished with wontons.


The Verdict
The best dish thus far, in my opinion! Delicious. Reminiscent of Vietnamese pho a bit (minus the anise + other amazing spices found in pho broth)--lots of greens, onions, texture variations. The wontons on top were essential: definitely elevated the dish by adding an important crunchy element. Also: this dish is vegetarian! The faux chicken cutlets worked perfectly, much to my surprise.

Improvements for next time: spring onions and/or green onions for sure, and maybe incorporate a tablespoon or two of vinegar? We didn't have any in the house, otherwise I would have gone for it!
