Wonton Jook (Congee).....what in the world are they doing at The House of Gourmet in Toronto?
I love wonton and I love congee.
I can eat either of these anytime of the day. I know, some of you, especially if you are non-Asian may think this is absurd, but wonton or congee is my favorite breakfast food.
On weekend mornings, I will often have a pot of congee brewing before the coffee gets started and wonton is always in the menu rotation for a quick easy meal.
It has taken a few years, but even BR (a meat and potatoes kind of Irishman!) can be caught enjoying these things for breakie once in a while. If they aren't cooking in the kitchen, he will even go as far as suggesting we go out for them!
Until quite recently, I thought that Wonton and Congee were meant to be served "mutually exclusively".....well I'm here to tell you I have learned something new!

Spicy Edamame (Soy Beans)
Yup, it's been a while between posts, but thanks to BB's request for this recipe....I'm back. If I have to think about it....may as well write it down for the rest of the world too!
Actually there is a huge backlog of stuff to post but life has been busy and I refuse to be a slave to my blog.
