Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 unit carrot, julienned
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 3 units green onions, chopped
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 24 units vegan won ton wrappers
- 1 cup firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add soy sauce and chopped bok choy, reduce heat to a simmer.
While the broth simmers, prepare the won ton filling by mixing crumbled tofu, chopped spinach, cilantro, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring to create a cornstarch slurry.
To assemble the won tons, place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Use your finger to moisten the edges with the cornstarch slurry. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, press the edges to seal.
Gently drop each won ton into the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top.
Stir in chopped green onions and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
