Lo Mein with Bok Choy and Tofu


My Chinese takeout order of choice as of late has been veggie lo mein with a side of cream cheese wontons.  But it is exceedingly rare to find a decent veggie lo mein that tastes fresh, isn't covered with oil, and has a good ratio of veggies to noodles. And more often than not, twenty minutes after dinner I will end up with a ripping MSG-induced headache. After years of disappointment, I concluded my love of Chinese takeout was not worth the headache (pun intended) and began researching recipes for my favorite takeout meals.  After years of experimenting, this has become one of my favorite recipes.

Baked Cream Cheese Wontons


I can't order Chinese food and not order a side of cream cheese wontons. They're my favorite part of the entire meal - warm, crisp, sweet, and outrageously addictive. But just one deep-fried wonton has 120 calories and 8 grams of fat making them a very guilty pleasure. The other thing about take out wontons is they're always cold by the time they arrive at your door. To solve all my wonton woes, I learned how to make these at home.
