Ingredients

Preparation

To make the wonton filling, finely chop the prawns. Then transfer them to a glass or ceramic bowl, and stir in the garlic, spring onion, soy sauce, fish sauce, coriander and egg yolk. Next lay the wonton wrappers on a work surface in a single layer, and put about one tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each.

Brush the edges with egg white and fold each one into a triangle, pressing lightly to seal. Then bring the two bottom corners of the triangle around to meet in the center, securing with a little egg white to hold it in place. Cover with a damp tea towel or cloth until they are needed.

To make the soup, put the stock, fish sauce, soy sauce and rice wine in a large heavy saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil, over a medium heat. Then add the chillies and the spring onions. Drop each of the wontons into the pan and simmer for about 4–5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and serve.
