Ingredients

2 green onions

250 gram pork mince

1/4 teaspoon chinese five spice powder

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander

16 flour wonton wrappers

2 chicken stock cubes

450 gram packet hokkien noodles

4 large uncooked prawns, peeled, deveined, leaving tails intact

300 gram broccoli, cut into small florets

1 medium carrot, cut lengthwise into ribbons

1 fresh long red chilli, thinly sliced diagonally

Method

1.Finely chop one of the onions, place in a medium bowl. Thinly slice remaining onion, set aside. Add mince, five spice, half the sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce and coriander to finely chopped onion. Mix well.

2.To make wontons, place wrappers on a flat work surface. Place a heaped teaspoon of pork mixture at centre of each wrapper. Brush edges with water. Bring edges together; pinch to enclose filling and form a pouch.

3.Meanwhile, combine crumbled stock cubes, remaining soy sauce and 2 litres water in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil over moderate heat. Add noodles, cook 1 minute. Using tongs, transfer noodles to serving bowls.

4.Add wontons, prawns, broccoli and carrot to stock. Simmer 5 minutes, or until prawns curl and change colour. Stir in thinly sliced onion and chilli. Ladle hot soup, wontons and prawns over noodles in bowls. Serve.

To reduce salt, use water instead of stock. Flavour with sliced ginger and gartic. Use salt-reduced soy sauce. You could use frozen dim sims to save time. Partially thaw, then add to boiling stock. Cooking time will vary. Wonton wrappers are in the chilled dairy section of major supermarkets and Asian grocery stores.
