Ingredients

200 gram pork mince

1/4 cup canned water chestnuts, drained, finely chopped

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 red chilli, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 teaspoon finely grated ginger

20 wonton wrappers

2 tablespoon water

2 litre (8 cups) chicken stock

4 fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

100 gram choy sum leaves, coarsely chopped

Method

1.In a medium bowl, combine pork, water chestnuts, oil, soy sauce, chilli, garlic and ginger.

2.Place 1 tablespoon pork mixture on centre of each wonton wrapper. Brush edges with water. Fold wonton corners into centre, forming an envelope shape; using fingertips, press along edges to seal.

3.Meanwhile, bring stock to boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat. Add wontons; simmer gently 35 minutes, or until cooked through.

4.Add mushrooms and choy sum; cook 1-2 minutes, until choy sum begins to wilt. Serve immediately.

To make chicken stock, bring to the boil water, chicken bones, onion, carrot and ginger in a big saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, 2 hours, skimming off fat at intervals. Strain; chill until required.
