This healthy Chinese pork and wanton soup makes a wonderful starter or light meal.

Ingredients

500ml vegetable stock

½ small Chinese leaf lettuce (about 100g), cut into 1cm slices

4 dried (and soaked for 10 minutes) or fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1-2 tbsp each light soy sauce and rice vinegar, to taste

1 tsp toasted sesame oil, to taste

2 spring onions, finely sliced

For the wontons

150g pork, minced

150g medium prawns, shelled, de-veined and finely chopped

1 large spring onion, finely chopped

1.5cm piece fresh ginger, grated

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp rice wine

1 tsp sesame oil

2 tsp cornflour

16 wonton wrappers

Method

Mix all the wonton filling ingredients in a bowl. Put 1 teaspoon of filling in the centre of each wonton wrapper. Brush a little water along the edges of each wrapper, then gather the corners into the centre and twist to form small, sealed dumpling parcels.

Pour the stock and 500ml boiling water into a large pan and bring to the boil. Add the dumplings, 1 at a time, and cook for 5 minutes, until they expand and float to the surface.

Add the Chinese leaf and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the shiitake mushrooms. Season the broth to taste using the light soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and a pinch of ground white pepper.

To serve, ladle 4 dumplings into each bowl with some soup and vegetables. Scatter with sliced spring onions and serve immediately.
