30 wonton wrappers

Put the vegetables and three-quarters of chicken and shrimp in a food processor. Dice the remaining chicken and shrimp.
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and a pinch of Korean chili powder to food processor and mix to a smooth paste.
Spoon a little of the vegetable mixture into each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges and press together to make it seal.
Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan. Add the dumplings, chicken, and shrimp.
Simmer for 10 minutes and garnish with scallions before serving.
