One-dish Meal

I will be cooking a dish of Wanton Noodles, with the wanton prepared and cooked on the spot. 

Usual Recipe for Wantons:

Serving Size and Calories

According to the USDA, a 1-cup serving of wonton soup contains 71 calories, including 5 calories from fat, 19 from protein and 47 from carbohydrates.

Fat Profile

One cup, about 223 grams, of wonton soup contains 0.6 grams of fat. Only 0.1 gram consists of unhealthy saturated fat; the rest are heart-healthy unsaturated fats. According to Dr. Mehmet Oz, co-author of "You: The Owner's Manual," a food is healthy from a fat standpoint if the unsaturated fats are more abundant than the saturated fats. With a ratio of 5 to 1 in favor of healthy fats, wonton soup scores well.

Carbohydrate Profile

A serving of wonton soup contains 11.7 grams of total carbohydrate. This includes 0.8 grams of sugar and 10.6 grams starch. Both sugar and starch break down easily and can cause fluctuations in your blood sugar. The remaining 0.3 grams are complex carbohydrates, a healthier carbohydrate. Just as the ratio of good fats to bad fats says good things about wonton soup, the ratio of bad carbs to good carbs says the opposite.

Protein Profile

One cup of wonton soup delivers 4.6 grams of protein, about 9 percent of your USDA recommended allowance. If wonton soup is prepared in animal stock, it is a complete protein; it contains all the amino acids your body requires. Vegetarian options are lower in protein and deliver incomplete proteins unless prepared from soy.

Vitamin and Mineral Content

A cup of wonton soup contains 8 percent of your daily requirement of vitamin B6, 6 percent of your required niacin and 2 percent to 5 percent of your requirements of vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B12 and pantothenic acid. It also contains between 1 percent and 5 percent of all minerals recommended by the USDA.. Wonton soup is very high in sodium, delivering 905 mg per serving, which is more than one-third of your daily limit.

My Changes to the Usual Recipe for Wantons:

cut away some skin of the wanton - reduces carbohydrage intake

include black fungus and water chestnut - vegetable intake

use only chicken breast meat - no fat, lesser calories

fresh prawn - makes wanton more nutritious

littles seasoning - less sodium and MSG intake

Other Parts of My Recipie for the Dish:

-add leafy vegetables (boiled) to increase vitamin C and fibre intake

-boil noodles to get rid of excess oil

-bone from chicken breast used for wantons to be boiled to make the soup fragrant

-2 pinches of salt to make soup more appetizing

this is how i think my dish will look like when it is cooked
