On your preparation board facing you, as diamonds, as you can get on the board. Brush the egg mixture at the bottom of the wrapper. Place 1 packed teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the middle of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper towards you and press and seal in basted wrapper. Lightly cover the top with egg mixture and complete the wrapping in diaper fashion by folding the outer diamond points to the bottom point. Line a tray with wax paper. Place completed wonton on wax paper to prevent sticking. Store on a tray with wax paper. Continue until you have 60 or so wontons.
Bring the stock to a boil. Add tofu and mushrooms. Drop in as many wontons as you intend to serve. Simmer slowly so as not to boil them apart. Spoon in and swirl beaten egg to make strings. Serve with green onions and crispy noodles as a garnish.
Prepare extra veggies as indicated and serve separately. Serve the soup and allow your guests to select from the garnish and veggie tray.
