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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add the julienned carrot and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add soy sauce and chopped bok choy, reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 4

While the broth simmers, prepare the won ton filling by mixing crumbled tofu, chopped spinach, cilantro, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Step 5

Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring to create a cornstarch slurry.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently drop each won ton into the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top.

Step 8

Stir in chopped green onions and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
