Press the firm tofu to remove excess water. Once pressed, finely crumble it into a mixing bowl.
Peel and finely grate the carrot. Add this to the bowl with the tofu.
Finely chop the shiitake mushrooms and green onions. Mince the garlic cloves. Add these to the tofu mixture.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the tofu mixture in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half to create a semicircle, and press the edges to seal securely. Repeat with remaining mixture and wrappers.
In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil.
Roughly chop the napa cabbage and add it to the broth. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Carefully add the prepared dumplings to the broth. Let them cook until they float to the surface, around 4-5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the pangsit kuah in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime on the side.
