Ingredients
Wontons:
- 8 ounces plant-based ground meat substitute
- 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce (I used the vegan kind)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- 1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- green onions, finely chopped × 2
- 24 wonton wrappers (size 3½-inch square), Vegan
Soup:
- 6 cups vegetable broth, 1 and a half tsp. minced garlic
- Soy sauce, vegan, 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- A handful of Whittier, green onions, chopped very finely
Step-by-Step Directions
Wontons:
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine plant-based ground meat substitute with rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil or chili garlic paste (optional), ginger grated and finely chopped green onions. Be sure to mix it very well so all the ingredients get evenly distributed.
- How to wrap the wontons: Add about one tablespoon of filling in the center/edge (depending on how you see orientation, raw dough and such) of a vegan wonton wrapper. Dampen the edges of wonton wrappers with water to make it easier for the sides to stick together. Wrap the corners and seal to make a triangle shape, taking out any air.
- Fill and Seal the Wontons: lift a long edge of wonton, fold one pointed end around the other, pointing away from you in an opposite direction, and press them together firmly. Dip your finger in water to open up a little room, and dampen the rim if necessary so it will adhere better. Repeat this until all wonton wrappers have been used.
- Let the Wontons Rest: While you make your soup, let the ready-made wontons rest.
Soup:
- Make the broth. In a medium-size pot, over medium heat add vegetable stock, minced garlic cloves, crushed green onions and some sesame oil. setScale with soy sauce. Mix well so that all ingredients are combined and simmer over low-medium heat.
- Wonton Cooking: Fill a large pot (5 quarts or larger) full with water salted to the taste of sea water. Once the water comes to a boil, gently add the vegan wontons and cook for 5 minutes until they float to the top of surface.
- Finish and Serve: Strain the cooked wontons, then put into the warm broth last. Ladel the soup into bowls and garnish with extra green onions (if using).
Cooking Tips and Tricks
Use fresh ingredients. Ginger and green onions Added to the wonton filling and broth Do not miss these ingredients for perfection
Proper Sealing Of Wontons: The wonton skin should be sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking out while cooking. Wet the edges with water and press to seal.
This is the time to taste your broth before you put in those wontons and check if it needs anymore salt or anything else. Taste for seasoning, adding more soy sauce or a little salt to your preference.

FAQs
Q: Can I freeze the wontons? Q: Can you freeze wontons before cooking? Arrange them on a baking sheet in- one layer and freeze well. Place the freezer bag with your frozen wontons in it to store for up to three months. Cook from frozen as directed.
Q: Can I substitute another type of broth? A: Absolutely! Use vegetable broth instead of fish stock to make this a vegan dish, although we must say the unaminous editorial recommendation was that miso or mushroom stocks work even better!
Q: :Ways to make the soup spicier? Q: For a little heat in the soup, add some thin slices of fresh chili or hot sauce to taste. That can be adjusted to taste and preference of spice.
