Ingredients
  

  • 25 wonton wraps
  • 8 oz tofu pressed to remove excess water*
  • 1 TBSP green onions plus more for garnish
  • 2 TBSP soy sauce plus more for garnish
  • 1 TBSP sesame oil plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup of broccoli
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 head of baby bok choy optional
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4-1/2 TSP crushed red pepper

Instructions
 

  • Using your hands, crumble the tofu up (Just kind of get in there and squish the entire block until it's all crumbled!).
  • Chop the green onions and broccoli, and thinly slice the bok choy and shiitake mushrooms. Divide the broccoli and mushrooms each into 2-1/2 cups.
  • Heat 1 TBSP of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu, 1/2 cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup of mushrooms, green onions and 1 TBSP of soy sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring a few times. Remove from heat, add another 1 TBSP of soy sauce, and mix together evenly.
  • Making sure you have a sufficient workspace and a small brush with a small bowl of water handy, begin to fill the wonton wraps by spooning a small amount of the tofu mixture (about 1 TBSP) into a wrap. Next you'll want to fold and seal the wrap. How you fold it is up to you, but I used the "boat" style, which is done as follows: Fold the bottom tip to the top tip and pinch out as much air as possible. Next brush a bit of water to either of the two side tips and fold them together, overlapping one on top of the other. The end result should look boat-like, with two tips cradling a puff of filling in the middle (Don't worry about it being perfect!). Repeat the same steps for the remaining wontons.
  • In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth and water to a boil. Add the sealed wontons, remaining broccoli and shiitake mushrooms and bok choy. Add 1/4-1/2 TSP of crushed red pepper, depending on your taste preference. Cook for around 5 minutes, or until wontons have floated to the surface and the broccoli is tender.
  • Divide the soup into (4) bowls, garnish with green onions and a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil.

Notes

*You can press the excess water out of the tofu block simply by taking the tofu out of the packaging and placing it on a cutting board, then placing a few paper towels on top of the block and a couple of books to weigh it down. Leave for at least 15 minutes before crumbling the tofu.*
