Mmmmm tonight I felt like dumplings... in a rich broth.. so a google search turned up a yummy recipe for Wonton Soup. Making your own wontons is really easy, I will definitely do it again.

The recipe called for wonton wrappers, but I couldnt find any so I bought spring roll ones and just cut them into 4 smaller squares. It worked out well!

So here it is:

• 4 cups salt-reduced chicken stock
• 2 carrots, peeled, cut into matchsticks
• 2cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 125g noodles
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Chicken wontons

• 200g lean chicken mince
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 20 wonton wrappers
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
  
  1. Step 1
     Make wontons: Combine mince, onion, ginger and garlic in a bowl. Place a rounded teaspoon of mixture in the centre of 1 wonton wrapper. Brush edges with egg. Fold corners together to form a pouch. Press to secure. Place on a plate. Repeat to make 20 wontons.
  2. Step 2
     Place stock, carrot and 4 cups cold water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until carrot is tender. Add ginger, soy sauce, noodles and wontons. Simmer for 5 minutes or until wontons are cooked through. Serve topped with onions.
