Instructions
Prepare the Wonton Filling
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, chopped shiitake mushrooms, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well until evenly combined.
- 2To assemble the wontons, place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold and seal to form wontons. Ensure they are well-sealed to prevent leakage.
Cook the Soup
- 1In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 2Carefully add the prepared wontons to the boiling broth. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and are cooked through.
- 3Add the quartered bok choy to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
- 4Season the soup with salt and white pepper to taste.

Tips
- For a more robust flavor, you can add finely diced water chestnuts to the wonton filling for a pleasant crunch.
- Ensure wonton wrappers are thinly coated with water to seal properly, but avoid making them too soggy, which can cause them to tear.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or thinly sliced scallions for an extra burst of flavor and color before serving hot.
