I’ll see your Wonton Eggdrop soup, and raise you one.
Had Yee Foo Wonton Eggdrop soup a couple nights ago. Yee Foo Wonton is deep-fried wonton in soup. Don’t expect crispy wontons, ‘cause they ain’t.
I love Hong Kong wonton with the fresh skin and snappy shrimp. But sometimes, just gotta scratch that itch for good old-fashion Chinese American. I think Yee Foo may only be a West Coast thing, as my friends outside SF Chinatown have never heard of it, let alone tried it.
This wonton variant has a bit more chew, and a bit of a smoky flavor. If you like dipping a fresh crispy youtiau in hot congee, you may be a candidate for this.
