Won Bok Seafood Soup

 As a tribute to Ashley's post about her creation of cabbage soup, I decided to take a stab at the dish.  I've still had a quarter of a head of won bok, so I chopped that up with half an onion, and two cloves of garlic.  I started the onion and garlic in a bit of oil and then I had the brilliant idea of throwing in a packet of bay scallops that I had sitting in the freezer.  In the freezer, I also came across my shrimp.  I grabbed both and dumped them in the pot--not thawing them.  I let the ice and liquid help steam the two.  I added some water and dried shiitake mushrooms.  I let the the liquid come to a boil and then added my chopped won bok.  Some time in the process I also added a bit of shoyu and white pepper.  I simmered it till the cabbage was soft.  It smelt a little too fishy for my taste at that point, so I tossed in more white pepper and some oyster sauce.  I then cracked an egg in it to the broth to make it a bit like egg drop soup.  I turned down the heat and threw in some fresh green onions.  

A fast, simple and comforting dish to make.  :D
