Vegetarian Vegan Wonton Soup

Cook time20 min

Crumbled tofu and finely chopped shiitake mushrooms come together with scallions, ginger, and a touch of toasted sesame oil for a savory, deeply satisfying wonton filling. Each wrapper gets folded by hand into neat little parcels, then simmered until they float — tender, translucent, and ready to soak up the fragrant broth. That broth is where the real magic happens: vegetable stock gets simmered with fresh ginger and sesame oil until it's warm, aromatic, and full of depth. A scatter of fresh scallions and a drizzle of chili oil finish each bowl with brightness and a little heat. It's comforting, restaurant-style soup you can make entirely at home, and it fits right into a vegetarian kitchen without missing a beat.

Instructions

1
Press the tofu firmly between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel for at least 5 minutes, then crumble it finely into a medium bowl. Add the chopped shiitake mushrooms, sliced scallions, 1 tbsp tamari, 1 tsp sesame oil, grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Stir until the filling is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
2
Set a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center. Dip your finger in the water and run it along all four edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal out any air pockets. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlapping them slightly, and press to seal. Place the finished wontons on a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with a damp towel while you repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
