Preparation steps
1.
Mix the flour, salt, egg and water in a mixing bowl until you have a smooth dough. You may need to add a little more water but be careful the dough doesn't become too wet.
2.
Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead for 10 minutes then place in a clean bowl, cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
3.
Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl and set aside. Place all the ingredients for the broth in a large pan, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes then turn off the heat and let the broth infuse.
4.
Divide the dough into two and roll each piece on a floured board into a cylinder about 2.5cm / 1" diameter. Cut each cylinder into slices about 2.5cm / 1" thick and roll each piece of dough into a circle about 12cm / 5" diameter.
5.
Place a small spoonful of the filling onto each dough circle, moisten the edges with a little water and fold over the dough to make semi-circular wontons. Press the edges together gently to make a good seal.
6.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the wontons in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove the wontons from the pan with a slotted spoon and place in serving bowls.
7.
Bring the broth back to the boil then spoon it over the wontons and garnish with the shredded basil leaves.
