Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

If you've ever thought about making wonton soup at home, "quick and easy" was probably the furthest thing from your thoughts. Here's the trick, though, using pre-made pork and ginger dumplings saves a ton of time, while fresh ginger and bamboo shoots still deliver loads of authentic flavor.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
1 piece (1-inch size) ginger
8 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup sliced bamboo shoots
2 cups baby spinach leaves
20 pork and ginger dumplings
soy sauce
chili garlic sauce
Preheat vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Thinly slice onion and add to pot with oil. Cook for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Crush garlic clove and add to onion. Peel ginger and slice lengthwise into several large pieces then add to onion and garlic. Saute for another two minutes.
Add chicken stock to the pot, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Add dumplings, spinach, and bamboo shoots. Cook for 8-10 minutes until dumplings are heated through.
Serve with soy sauce and chili garlic sauce to season to taste.
