Ingredients

400 gram lean pork mince

2 green onions (shallots), finely chopped

80 gram drained water chestnuts, finely chopped

2 piece fresh ginger, finely grated

2 garlic cloves, crushed

3 teaspoon soy sauce

2 teaspoon sweet sherry

1 teaspoon sesame oil

30 square wonton wrappers

1.25 litre (5 cups) chicken stock

1/4 chinese cabbage (wong bok), finely shredded

100 gram shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

Method

1.Place pork, green onions, water chestnuts, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sherry and sesame oil in a bowl and, using clean hands, mix until well combined.

2.Line a large tray with non-stick baking paper. Spoon 1 heaped teaspoon of mixture into centre of 1 wonton. Brush edges of wonton with a little water and bring edges together so corners meet. Pinch edges to seal. Place wonton on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining mixture and wontons. Cover with a clean damp tea towel and chill until required.

3.Place 1L stock and 1 cup water in a large wok on high and bring to the boil. Line 2 bamboo steamer baskets (30cm) with non-stick baking paper. Arrange wontons in prepared baskets in a single layer. Stack baskets, cover with steamer lid and place over stock in wok. Reduce heat to medium- high and steam for 5 minutes.

4.Carefully lift baskets out of wok. Add cabbage and mushrooms to stock in wok. Swap baskets so top basket is on base, cover with lid and return to wok. Steam for 5-7 minutes, until wontons are cooked.

5.Remove baskets, add remaining stock and 1 cup water to wok, and bring to the boil. Divide wontons between bowls, then ladle over broth and vegetables. Serve.

Wonton wrappers are available in refrigerator section of selected supermarkets and Asian grocery stores.
