  3. 3Mix well until combined.
  4. 4Add a teaspoon of filling and a chunk of prawn to each wonton wrapper.
  5. 5Use the filling as glue to tightly seal and create a fishtail shape.
  6. 6Boil the wontons until they float and toss with sesame oil so they don't stick.
  7. 7Prepare the wonton noodle soup with chicken powder or chicken stock.
  8. 8Top with Thai chilli oil.
