Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionCrush the ginger with the flat of a cleaver or a rolling pin and put it in a cup with just enough cold water to cover.
Place the pork, egg, Shaoxing wine and sesame oil in a bowl with 1 1/2 tsp of the ginger water and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in the stock, 1 tbsp at a time.
Finally, add the spring onion greens.
Fill a small bowl with cold water.
Take a wonton wrapper and lay it flat in one hand.
Use a table knife or a small spatula to press about 1 tsp of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip a finger into the cold water, run it around the edges of the wrapper and fold it diagonally in half.
Press the edges tightly together and lay on a flour-dusted tray or large plate.
Bring a large pan of water to a boil over a high heat.
While you are waiting for the water to boil, prepare three or four serving bowls.
In each bowl, place 1 tbsp sweet aromatic soy sauce (or 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce and 1/2 tsp sugar), 1 1/2 tbsp chilli oil with sediment and 1/2-1 heaped tsp of crushed garlic to taste.
When the water has come to a boil, drop in the wontons.
Stir gently to make sure they do not stick together.
When the water returns to a rolling boil, pour in a small cup of cold water to calm it down.
Repeat this one more time.
When the water has come to a boil for the third time, the wontons should be cooked through (cut one open to make sure).
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon, drain well, and divide between the prepared serving bowls.
Scatter each bowl with some of the spring onion greens.
Serve immediately, stirring everything together before digging in.
