Pork wonton soup

Ingredients

2 litres (8 cups) chicken stock
3 spring onions, green part coarsely chopped, white part finely chopped (reserve for wontons)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1½ cups shredded Chinese cabbage
1 tbsp julienned ginger

Pork wontons

500 gm minced pork
2 tsp finely grated ginger
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ cup coarsely chopped coriander, plus extra to serve
24 wonton wrappers
1 eggwhite, lightly beaten

Method

Main

1
Place chicken stock, green part of spring onion, soy sauce and sesame oil in a saucepan over high heat, bring to the boil, add cabbage and ginger, then remove from heat and keep warm.
2
For pork wontons, combine pork, grated ginger, garlic, coriander and white part of spring onion in a bowl. Season to taste and stir well to combine. Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place a heaped teaspoon of pork mixture in centre of wrapper, brush edges with eggwhite, then fold diagonally to form a triangle, press edges to seal, then fold and pinch bottom corners together to form wonton shape. Cook wontons in batches (as you continue preparing more), in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender and cooked through (2-4 minutes). Drain well on a tea towel.
3
Transfer pork wontons to bowls, ladle hot chicken broth over, scatter with extra coriander and serve hot.
