Some coriander leaves
Salt and pepper for taste

Method
For broth
Simmer bones and onion with 1 liter of water to extract broth.
Strain and pour back into the pot
Season with salt and pepper.
Keep it simmering over very low heat.

For wanton
In a bowl, mix chicken,spring onion, oyster sauce, ginger, cornflour and salt. 
Add  1/2 tsp of  mixed chicken in the center of wanton skin
Dab/pat the corners of the skin with some water, after which bring all the corners together and press.
Gently drop wanton into stock..
Skim out any impurities if needed.
When wanton floats up, add mustard leaves and off the heat.   
Garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
