Serves: 4 person(s)

Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

1/4 cup roasted macadamias, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 scallion, chopped
10 oz silken tofu, drained and lightly mashed
1 Tbsp thick soy sauce
1 Tbsp rice wine or sherry
2 tsp brown sugar
3 cup water
1 cup white wine
1 Kaffir lime leaf
1 stalk lemon grass, chopped and crushed
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 packet of 40 wonton wrappers
1 bunch bok choy or Chinese spinach, finely sliced
1 Tbsp soy sauce, extra

Directions:

Combine macadamias, cilantro, scallion, tofu, soy sauce, rice wine and brown sugar in a bowl to make ravioli filling.

In a saucepan, bring water, white wine, lime leaf, lemon grass and ginger to the boil.

Lay out a few of the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface and place a spoonful of ravioli mixture on center of each wrapper. Brush edges with water or a little beaten egg.

Place another wonton wrapper on top and press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

With a slotted spoon, gently slide 3-4 ravioli pieces into boiling stock and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender.

Remove ravioli with slotted spoon and keep warm while you cook the remainder. Blanch the bok choy for one or two minutes, until just wilted. Strain a cup (or more, if you prefer) of the stock into a jug and mix in the additional soy sauce.

Divide ravioli between serving bowls and drizzle with sauce.
