Great fresh and leftover

I have made this recipe a couple times and love it (my boyfriend loves it as well). Surprisingly it's also great for leftovers (I wasn't sure it would be with the cabbage, but it works). Shiitake mushrooms can be expensive and hard to find - the last time I made this I used frozen shiitake mushrooms and it turned out just as well. This is now a regular in my recipe rotation.




I had to jazz it up a bit but...

Made this recipe tonight and it was delicious. My husband and I loved it, now we have a diet friendly alternative to high calorie Chinese dishes. Thanks again Ellie! With my oven, the wonton skins were a little overdone at 10 minutes, next time I would reduce the cooking time to 8 minutes. Also it had a bit too much liquid, so I would reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup.




Hubby was looking for seconds...

I thought this would be so delicious; what a waste of time and ingredients. I could not get passed the smell of the sesame oil. I tried one tiny bite of cabbage and realized I had just wasted alot of time and alot of good ingredients. GROSS, GROSS GROSS!!!!!!!




Excellent!!

I would agree with other reviews that a few red pepper flakes would really make it pop and I did add a little more salt before serving, but this is a great meal for an evening at home in front of the TV - like take-out without the guilt. I had to use reconstituted dried shiitakes but it worked out just fine, and by adding just a little more cabbage and chicken, I was able to make it serve 6.

I haven't prepared many Asian inspired dishes at home. I enjoyed shopping for new items, ie: bamboo shoots and wonton skins. My 8 year old daughter helped me with the veggie prep. Dish came together quickly and was full of flavor and texture. My family had fun crumbling the baked wonton skins over the top. Delicious! Thank you, Ellie!




Great "TakeOut" Chinese

This recipe was very easy and very tasty. It was a healthy version of Chinese takeout.

We thought this recipe was great...my husband did add extra soy sauce to his, but when you look at how much sodium is in the final counts, it makes you think twice...between the soy sauce, salt and broth, there really is a lot. We did not even have sesame oil, so we just omitted it. Next time I will roast my own chicken (to cut back on salt) and I will use the sesame oil and also add some bean sprouts. I also think just a pinch of red pepper flakes would help.




Disappointing,,,Kind of a dud

I LOVE Elle and her recipes. Her new cookbook is fabulous. This recipe, however, was bland and boring. I was really disappointed.




Enjoyed it ..

I've made this recipe several times, I add bok choy and bean sprouts in addition to the vegetables already in the recipe. I use a little more soy sauce than what the recipe calls for since it ends up being a large batch!




healthy and yummy

This recipe was excellent!! In reference to the salt, just make sure that your wonton's are salted well and then you don't have a salt problem with the recipe. I'll definitely make this again and again, especially when you have leftover turkey. My husband couldn't stop giving it raved reviews while eating it!!




Good healthy version of Chinese food

I love Chinese so it was great to have a healthy recipe, unlike the usual fattening take-out. I felt the sauce should be thicker, so I added more sherry with corn starch - unfortunately, this made the sherry flavor too strong. Next time I'll just increase the corn starch. Overall a great dish - loved the wonton wrappers!




I usually like her recipes... but yuck!

I have made several of Ellie's recipes and liked them very much, but this one was just yuck! It smelled good, but it was bland and anything but satisfying. We had someone stop by our house at dinner time when I was making this and I invited them to stay. I was so embarrassed. No one liked it.

Hi, I can't find Napa cabbage. Is there a good substitute? I am not sure why none of my local markets have this. RMary

This recipe made a good light lunch. I agree it could have used a little more salt, but was great other than that!

My husband is sometimes hard to please, but he loved this. Said it was liked take-out but without the unhealthy feeling and without the guilt. I'll make this again and again.




Not bad!

I am always looking for healthy dishes that are good. They are hard to find. We thought it was very good, might have needed more salt. I am thinking of adding peanuts next time.

My husband and I watched the episode where Ellie made this dish. He said it looked good so I made it 2 nights later. It was delicious. The only thing that made it longer was that I needed to cut up chicken cutlets and cook them first. This took time. Otherwise the recipe was easy and the dish tasted great.




Easy and flavorful

This recipe is enjoyable, light, and healthy. It is not my favorite dish but it is pretty good for being health food.
