Mix the pork mince with half the spring onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper. Place a small spoonful in the centre of each wonton wrapper, dampen the edges, fold and press firmly to seal.
Bring the chicken stock to a gentle simmer in a large saucepan. Add the wontons in batches and cook for 4–5 minutes, until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
Add the pak choi and cook for 2 minutes until just tender. Season the broth with salt and a little more soy sauce if needed.
Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and finish with the remaining spring onions and a few drops of sesame oil.
