Method
- Soak mushrooms in cold water for 10 minutes until rehydrated. Drain well.

- Add rehydrated mushrooms, frozen wontons and spring onions to soup. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the wontons are tender.
- On a low heat without simmering, drizzle eggs in a circular motion over the soup, they will cook and set instantly into thick ribbons. Quickly stir to break up the ribbons.
