Chilli broth
- 200ml of chicken stock
- 1/2 tbsp of oyster sauce

Method
1
Finely chop the garlic, spring onion, coriander, Chinese chives, soaked shiitake mushrooms and Chinese leaves and place in a mixing bowl
2
Finely dice the prawns (if using) and add to the mixing bowl along with the soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Mix everything together

To make the wontons, place 1 teaspoon of filling in the centre of each pastry. Using the tip of your finger, wet all sides of the pastry with cold water
4
Fold the bottom corner over the filling to the top corner and press the pastry down to seal all sides (to form a triangle)
5
Holding the base of the filling with your thumbs, pull the 2 corners of the triangle towards each other
6
Overlap the ends and press together to form a 'gold ingot/trough' shape. Set aside and fold the rest of the wontons the same way
7
Place all the wontons in a large, deep bowl. Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan, then stir in the oyster sauce and chilli oil. Pour the broth ingredients over the wontons
8
Set the wok up with a steamer stand and fill with boiling water to a third of the way up the sides
9
Put the wonton bowl into the wok, cover with a lid and steam for 6–8 minutes, until the wontons have shriveled slightly and are cooked through
10
Remove from the wok and serve garnished with a little chopped coriander
