Ingredients

Chicken wontons

Method

1.Make chicken wontons: Combine chicken, water chestnuts, spring onion, garlic, ginger, oil and soy sauce in a bowl. Place 1 heaped teaspoon chicken mixture in centre of each wrapper. Brush edges with water; pinch edges together to seal. Cook wontons, in batches, in a large saucepan of simmering water for 4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon.
2.Heat oil in a large saucepan over low heat; cook garlic, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in stock, soy sauce and the water; bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste.
3.Cook noodles in a saucepan of boiling water following the packet directions until tender; drain. Divide among bowls.
4.Add pak choy and mushrooms to soup; cook for 4 minutes or until pak choy is tender but still crisp. Add cooked wontons to soup to warm through. Divide wontons, vegetables and soup among bowls.
5.Season and serve sprinkled with spring onion.

You can use minced pork instead of minced chicken, if you like. To save on washing up, add the wontons directly to the soup in step 4 to cook with the vegetables.

Use 2 chicken stock cubes dissolved in 1 litre (4 cups) water instead of bought stock. Try chopped, peeled, uncooked prawns. Use shredded leftover barbecued or roast chicken. This recipe is made in one pan, so it cuts clean-up time, too. Leftovers: Soup will thicken on standing. Add a little water when reheating. Note
