  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 6

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
  • 34 baby bok choy (roughly chopped)
  • 15 wonton wrappers (quartered or sliced)
  • Sliced green onion (for serving)
  • Chili oil (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, ginger, and smashed garlic cloves; sauté until onions caramelize.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of vegan chicken broth and scrape any brown bits from the bottom. Add remaining broth, dried mushrooms (if using), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil, cover partially, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve and return it to the pot.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine vegan ground sausage, panko breadcrumbs, vegan eggs, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced chives, rice vinegar, black pepper, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Drop teaspoon-sized balls of filling into the simmering broth; cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in chopped bok choy and simmer until tender (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Add wonton wrappers one at a time while stirring gently to prevent sticking; simmer another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Serve warm garnished with sliced green onions and chili oil.
