Won Ton Noodle Soup




James Carrier
 2 1/2 to 3 quarts fat-skimmed chicken broth
  About 2 tablespoons oyster sauce or soy sauce
  About 1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
 1 package (1 lb.) fresh thin Chinese noodles (see notes)
  About 4 1/2 dozen uncooked fresh or frozen turkey-shrimp won ton
 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  Ground white pepper
Step 1
1

In a 4- to 5-quart covered pan over high heat, bring broth to a boil, then reduce heat to low and keep hot. In a 6- to 8-quart covered pan over high heat, bring 3 quarts water to a boil. Meanwhile, in each of six to eight large, deep bowls, place about 1 teaspoon oyster sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.

When water boils, add noodles. Stir to separate; cook just until barely tender to bite, about 2 minutes. Drain.

Add 3 to 4 quarts water to unwashed pan; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, with chopsticks or tongs, divide noodles evenly among bowls; cover with foil to keep warm.

When water is boiling, add won ton; stir to separate and cook until filling is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 3 to 4 minutes (6 minutes if frozen). With a large, flat wire strainer or slotted spoon, lift won ton out and divide evenly among bowls.
