- Ground chicken1 lb
- Salt
- White pepper
- Soy sauce2 tbsp
- Oyster sauce2 tbsp
- Shaoxing wine1 tbsp
- Cornstarch1 tbsp

Instructions
- Put the ginger slices and scallion in a bowl, pour in warm water and stir gently to release the flavour. Let it infuse.
- Mix the ground chicken with a pinch of salt, a pinch of white pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, the scallions and the infused water, stirring in one direction until the filling is smooth.
- Fill a piping bag with the filling, or spoon it into the centre of each wrapper. Pipe or place the filling in the centre of a wrapper, then pinch and seal the edges closed, with a little water if needed.
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil, season with salt, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper, and keep it simmering gently.
- Cook the wontons in the simmering broth until they float and the filling is cooked through, adding a cup of cold water during cooking if the water boils too hard.
- Add the bok choy halves to the broth and cook until tender, then serve the wontons and bok choy in the broth.
