It's all about the broth - sour, salty, hot. Invest time in building complexity in the prawn stock. My daughter drinks this like water.
Instead of using wonton wrappers, I encase the snapper dumplings with spinach leaves. The trick to cooking the dumplings without them falling apart is to wrap the entire dumpling - leaf and all - in plastic wrap, forming a tight nugget, which you poach. Nothing goes to waste in this dish - I fry the skin from the snapper and top off the soup with it.
