Wonton update! 🥟❤️

Today I’m sharing my family’s wonton recipe with a little help from my kids. These are my kid’s favorite and come really close to what we get in China. I’m showing you exactly how I fold them so you can make them at home too!

**Filling:**

* 1 lb ground pork
* 1 lb ground beef
* 2 tsp sugar
* 2 tsp salt
* 2 tsp Maggi seasoning
* 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
* 1 tbsp sesame oil
* 2 tbsp oyster sauce
* 2 tsp cooking wine
* 2 tsp cornstarch
* 1 cup chopped cilantro
* 1–2 cups chopped green onion

**Secret ingredient:** I mixed in some of the leftover fat from my homemade pho broth for extra richness and flavor. This step is completely optional, but if you’ve made pho at home, don’t throw that liquid gold away, it adds so much flavor to the wontons!

**You’ll also need:**

* Water to seal the wontons
* Fresh wonton wrappers if you can find them (Hong Kong-style are my favorite), but store-bought wrappers work just fine too. I get mine’s from Young’s Noodle Factory in Kalihi.

Would you like to see my easy homemade pho broth recipe next? Let me know

Today’s Yum: 5-Minute Chicken Tortillas 🌯

Simple, kid-approved, and so easy to customize!

Ingredients:
• Rotisserie chicken (I used Sam’s Club)
• Salsa
• Shredded cheese
• Tortilla or wrap of choice (I used a spinach wrap)
• Optional: avocado

How to make it:
Place your wrap in a skillet (oil is optional if using a nonstick pan). Add the cooked chicken, then sprinkle with cheese and salsa. Add any extras you like—I added avocado!

Fold the wrap closed and cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Flip, cook the other side, and you’re done!

Serve with extra salsa and sour cream. 🌶️

That simple! An easy recipe you can adjust based on whatever your family likes. 🤍

Facebook Marketplace surfing, online browsing… “This one is for power, this one is for control, and this one is more versatile.” 😂🎾

Meanwhile, I don’t even play tennis. I’m just married to the tennis racket expert who’s planning our kids’ future racket lineup. Send help. 😂

250+ pages of rocks and minerals… and every single page needs a page protector. 🫠😂 Science Olympiad Division B is no joke. At this point, I think I’m competing too. 💀🪨

Busy weeknight dinner idea! 🍚🥢 Three Chinese dishes, a pot of rice, and dinner on the table in about 30 minutes!

🥦 Garlic Chinese broccoli from H Mart
🍲 Black bean pork mapo tofu
🌊 Scallops from Sam’s Club

Total for the 3 main dishes: $25.50! Feeding a family of 5 doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune or spending all night in the kitchen. ❤️

Always looking for fun activities for a family of 5! 🙌❤️

Check out Kapolei Inline Skate Arena! As a mom of 3, finding activities everyone can enjoy without spending a fortune isn’t always easy. The drive out isn’t bad, especially for just $10 per person for 2 hours of skating! 🛼

Definitely worth the drive for some family fun!

You volunteered to coach, but you do everything but coach…

To all the parent coaches who give their time, patience, and sanity to our kids — thank you. We see you. ❤️
