- 50ml fresh ginger, finely chopped

Instructions
1
For the wontons, mix all ingredients.
2
Place the wrappers on a working surface and spoon 5ml of the chicken mixture into the centre. Brush the egg white all around the edges of the pastry and fold to make a parcel. Cover the wontons with a moist cloth as you’re going along, as the pastry tends to dry out.

For the broth, heat the stock in a large pot and add the spring onion. Carefully add the wontons and cook until soft, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
