Brush wrapper edges with water, and crimp sides together, removing any bubbles, to seal. Place onto a plate. Repeat using remaining filling and wrappers.

STEP 3 Reduce heat to bring stock mixture to a gentle simmer, add wontons in 2 batches to the simmering stock and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender and cooked through.

STEP 4 To serve, arrange choy sum and wontons in deep serving bowls. Ladle over the hot broth, top with sliced chilli and green onions and serve.
