  1. Combine the stock, water, fish sauce, lemon grass, lime leaves, ginger, chilli and garlic in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until fragrant and reduced slightly. Remove from heat. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan. Discard solids.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the prawn, extra garlic, chives and lemon rind in a bowl. Place wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place 1 heaped teaspoonful of prawn mixture in the centre of each wrapper. Brush edges lightly with water. Fold in half diagonally to enclose filling and form a triangle. Pull top 2 corners up to meet each other, with 1 corner overlapping the other slightly. Firmly press edges of wonton wrappers to seal.
