It Quacks Like A Duck Won Ton Soup With Greens

1. 1

   Stem your collard greens and cut each leaf in half down the middle. Stack the leaves and role into cylinders. Slice crosswise into ribbons.

2. 2

   Slice off the bottom stems of dandelion greens. The upper stems are tender when cooked. Slice these greens into ribbons as well.

3. 3

   Season the ground duck with orange zest, salt and pepper, soy sauce and five spice powder.

4. 4

   Using your clean hands work in the egg white to help bind the mixture.

5. 5

   Have a bowl of water handy. Place no more than one teaspoon of the duck mixture in the center of a wonton skin. A melon baller works well for this. Don't over stuff or you risk won ton blow out. Dip your finger in the bowl of water and run it along the sides and far edge of the won ton skin. Fold and seal to your preferred method.* This should yield 20 or more won tons.

6. 6

   Bring the chicken stock to a steady simmer. Add the greens to the pot and continue to simmer for 25-30 minutes or until very tender.

7. 7

   Add the won tons. Simmer away until they begin to float. Taste one for doneness.

8. 8

   Add the tofu dice and the cilantro if using. Finish with scallion and serve

   *A simple method for folding goes like this: place the filling in the center of the skin, wet the edges. Lift the edge of the skin closest to you and fold it all the way to the far end. Press edges to seal. Fold in half one more time. Bend the roll slightly to bring the far corners together. Wet the top of one corner and the bottom of the opposing corner. Press corners together. Roll on.
