4 ounces lean ground pork
1/2 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
20 fresh or frozen, thawed wonton skins
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) fat-free reduced
sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 ounces fresh pea pods
1 can (8-3/4 ounces) baby corn, rinsed and drained
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Cook pork in small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 4 minutes or until no longer pink. Cool slightly; stir in ricotta cheese, cilantro, black
pepper and 5-spice powder.

Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin. Fold top corner of wonton over filling. Lightly brush remaining corners with water. Fold
left and right corners over filling. Tightly roll filled end toward remaining corner in jelly-roll fashion. Moisten edges with water to seal. Cover
and set aside. Heat oil in large saucepan. Add bell pepper and ginger; cook 1 minute. Add
chicken broth and soy sauce; bring to a boil. Add pea pods, baby corn and wontons. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until
wontons are tender. Sprinkle with onions.

Contributor's note: A Chinese specialty similar to Italian ravioli, these bite-size dumplings consist of paper-thin dough filled with pork, ricotta cheese, cilantro and Chinese 5-spice powder.
