Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups roughly chopped white onion
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic (smashed)
  • 8 cups vegan chicken broth or vegetable broth (divided)
  • 1 oz dried shiitake mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 14 oz vegan ground sausage or beef
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 prepared vegan eggs
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3–4 baby bok choy (roughly chopped)
  • 15 wonton wrappers (quartered or sliced)
  • Sliced green onion (for serving)
  • Chili oil (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions, ginger, and garlic until onions are caramelized (about 5–6 minutes).
  2. Add 1 cup of broth and scrape any bits from the pot. Stir in the remaining broth, mushrooms (if using), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine vegan ground sausage, panko breadcrumbs, vegan eggs, soy sauce, ginger, chives, rice vinegar, pepper, and sugar to create the filling.
  4. Drop teaspoon-sized balls of filling into the simmering broth. Cook covered for 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in bok choy and cook until just tender (about 2–3 minutes). Add wonton wrappers one at a time while stirring to prevent sticking; simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
  6. Serve hot garnished with sliced green onions and chili oil.
