5. Arrange wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Put heaped teaspoonfuls of pork mixture in the centre of wrappers. Brush around the edges of each wrapper with water, gather the sides and pinch together at the top to form small bags.
6. Add wontons and noodles to the stock and simmer for 5 - 8 minutes or until the wontons float to the top. Add the shredded chicken and serve.
