How do I make it?
- To make pork dumplings, place pork, water chestnuts, spring onions, soy sauce and caster sugar in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Process until combined.
- Assemble dumplings by placing a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon pork mixture in the centre of wrapper and brush edges with cold water. Fold up edges to form a pouch. Pinch tightly with fingers to close. Repeat with remaining pork mixture and wrappers.
- Make soup by placing stock, water, ginger, red chilli and soy sauce in a large saucepan. Bring to boil. Add dumplings and return to boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently over low heat for 5 minutes. Add carrot and bok choy and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Divide soup and dumplings between 4 bowls and serve.
