This Shanghai-style wonton dish was inspired by a light, flavourful soup I had at the trendy Joyce Café in Hong Kong. The menu features a mixture of eastern and western influences and includes many vegetarian offerings. I found this one particularly delightful to the eye as well as the palate. The wontons are filled with chopped fresh Chinese leaves mixed with spicy preserved vegetables, and they are served floating in a fragrant soup.

Wonton skins can be obtained from Chinese groce
