Treat yourself to a home made Vegetarian Wonton Soup. These healthy wontons are filled with crumbled tofu, broccoli, spring onion and sesame seeds. This soup is actually also suitable for vegans! You’ll get 40 wontons out of this recipe, but you can of course freeze the remaining wontons for a later moment.
VEGETARIAN WONTON SOUP
If you’ve never tried making your own wontons, then I definitely recommend that you give it a go. This healthy wonton soup is truly a comfort food, without it being heavy. The broth is flavoured with ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil and the little wonton wrappers are filled with vegan ingredients. You can of course add your own favorite vegetables to the filling, like diced carrots or shitake mushrooms. Just make sure your ingredients are finely chopped and not too big. It could otherwise be tricky while folding the wrappers. To help bind the filling I like to add some cornstarch.
HOW TO FOLD WONTON WRAPPERS
There are many ways to fold your wontons, from the very simple folded triangle, to beautiful diamond shapes. For this recipe I used the so called “bonnet” method. It is called this way because the wontons look like little heads with bonnets on. I would advice to choose a method that would least likely break the wontons while boiling them in the broth.
VEGETARIAN WONTON SOUP TOPPINGS
I personally love spicy food, so I like to add some delicious chili crisp oil to my soup. One of my favourite brands is this store bought Chinese chili crisp oil from Lao Gan Ma. You can get it at your local Asian food store, or order it online. To serve, add some freshly sliced spring, a sprinkle of sesame seeds or add a few drops of extra sesame oil. Sesame oil has quite a strong flavour, so be careful 😉
