Divide it into 4 sections to make the rolling process easier, then transfer a section onto a surface dusted with cornstarch, and roll it out into a very thin sheet. Flip it around 4-5 times to get the perfect result, and continue dusting with cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the outer edges of the dough to form a square shape, then divide the square into nine smaller squares.

Step 7

Place around 1 tbsp of the filling in the centre of a wonton wrappers, then dip your fingers in water and wet the edges. Fold over the square to form a triangle, and press down to seal. Then, bring together the corners of the triangle to make the wonton shape. Repeat with the rest of the wrappers.

Step 9

Add vegetable stock, shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Cook for 10 minutes more.

Step 10
