Today, I made Hong Kong style shrimp wonton noodle soup for the first time. Surprisingly, it came out very good at the first trial! Woohoo! One item down on my list of cooking challenges, one more item on the list of items I will not order at restaurants. DH says is delicious :D.
It is really worth making my own wonton noodle soup? At least it has no MSG! The wonton wrap was the only thing I didn't make from scratch. Now let's see how much it costs me:
For wonton:
1 pack of wonton skin (1lbs, ~86 pieces): $1.59
1 lbs of ground pork: $1.79
2 lbs of shrimps: $6.00 (yeah, I got a deal on these)
seasoning: negligible
-> This makes about 14 portions of 6 wontons, therefore $0.67/portion.
For noodles and soup:
1 lbs of pork bones: $1.00
1 lbs of fresh egg noodles: $2.39
1 lbs of vegetables: $1.00
seasoning: negligible
-> This makes about 4 portions, therefore $1.10/portion.
Wow, that's cheap! I didn't realize until now. So, if we round up a bit for the cost of seasoning, a bowl of wonton noodle soup would cost around $2.00. Unfortunately, I don't know how much electricity I used, I guess that's the price I have to pay for some MSG-free and safe homemade food!
