Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup finely chopped cabbage
    • 2 green onions, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • Wonton wrappers (vegan-friendly)
  • For the Broth:
    • 6 cups vegetable broth
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced
    • 2 green onions, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Garnishes:
    • Chopped green onions
    • Sliced mushrooms
    • Bean sprouts
    • Cilantro leaves

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wonton Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped mushrooms, cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. Assemble the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Repeat until all filling is used.

3. Create the Broth Base: In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, minced garlic, sliced ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Cook the Wontons: Carefully drop the assembled wontons into the simmering broth, ensuring they are submerged. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the wontons are cooked through and tender.

5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, ensuring each serving includes a generous portion of wontons and broth. Garnish with chopped green onions, sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts, and cilantro leaves for added flavor and freshness.
