Super simple and easy vegan wonton soup! Warm, comforting and perfect for a cozy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 3–4 dried shiitake mushroom, rehydrated and finely chopped (15g)
- 1 cup Chinese greens, finely chopped (60-80g // I use yu choy or bok choy)*
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
- 130g traditional (fresh) or medium firm tofu
- 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce
- 1 shaoxing wine, optional
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp salt
Broth
- 2 ½ cups vegetable broth** (I used one infused with ginger)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp soy sauce, to taste
- 1 scallion, sliced
Instructions
- Add the tofu to a bowl and mash with your hands. Add the shiitake mushrooms, Chinese greens, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil and salt and mix until combined.
- Add 1 heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger into some water and run it along two edges. Fold the bottom corner up and seal to form a triangle (see photo above). Wet one corner and bring the other corner and press gently so they stick together. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until complete.
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add wontons to the water (as many as you can add without over crowding). Wait for the water to come to a rolling boil again and cook for 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook your wontons.
- In the meantime, also heat up some broth. Use a slotted ladle and remove the wontons into a bowl. Add 1-1 1/4 cup of broth and serve with scallions and aroma oil (or sesame oil). Enjoy!
Notes
- *If you prefer a softer filling, blanch the greens for 45 seconds in boiling water first. Rinse with cold water, squeeze excess liquid out and then finely chop.
- ** I used a broth infused with a little ginger. If your broth is plain, simmer 2 3/4 cup of broth with a piece of ginger for 5 minutes.

So simple, and better than any restaurant version I’ve had! Will definitely be making this often.

Loved making this recipe! It was so easy to make, and with the flavors being so simple it was also really easy to reuse the extra filling! I ended up using the extra filling in an egg roll with some cabbage inside.
Glad I found this recipe just in time for Chinese New Year, now I know what I’m having.

Some of the best wontons I’ve ever had honestly. A lot of the appeal is how easy it was to make. The ginger in the filling really makes the wontons pop.
