Wonton Soup : Chinese Recipe

Ingredients :

20-24 wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons chopped Chinese parsley

3 spring onions, finely chopped
2.5cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 egg, lightly beaten
1.5 litres chicken stock
15ml dark soy sauce
dash sesame oil

Method :

1. Place all the wonton wrappers on a large, flat surface. Mix together the chicken, chopped parsley, spring onions and ginger. Brush the edges of the wrappers lightly with beaten egg.
2. Place a small mound of mixture on one half of the wrappers and fold the other half over the top too form a triangle.
