Finely chop the vegan chicken strips, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, garlic, cabbage, and grate the ginger.
Peel and finely grate the carrot.
In a large bowl, combine the vegan chicken, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, ginger, carrot, and cabbage.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the mixture and stir well to combine thoroughly.
Place a wonton wrapper flat in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle. Press the edges together to seal tightly, ensuring no air is trapped.
Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlapping them slightly, and use a dab of water to seal them together.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large pot, bring water to a gentle boil.
Carefully add the wontons to the boiling water in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the wontons for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the wontons from the pot and drain on a paper towel.
Serve the wontons warm with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
