Steps

For the wontons: mix all the ingredients except the wonton wrappers 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, and then gather the corners into the centre and twist to form a small, sealed parcel dumpling.
For the soup: pour the stock into a large saucepan and add 500ml-boiling water from the kettle. Add the Chinese leaf, mushrooms and wontons to the broth. Season to taste using the light soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and a pinch of ground white pepper. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Divide the soup between 4 bowls. Scatter with spring onions and coriander and serve immediately with the chilli oil or chilli sauce on the side.
