- Wonton soup is supposed to be breakfast food in China. Actually it is good for anytime, particularly after rushing around in a chilly and gray day. Capsella (shepherd's purse, or Ji-cai in Chinese) has unique flavor and can be used as herb. These tiny pretty greens are very hard to find at markets in the US.
