Ingredients
  

Wonton Ingredients
  • 1 package Wonton wrappers (about 50 wrappers)
  • 1 block Firm tofu (about 14 oz), crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Chives, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Chili Broth
  • 4 cups Chili broth (vegetable broth with 2 tablespoons chili paste)
  • to taste Green onions, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, chopped chives, minced garlic, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are integrated.
  2. Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dab a little water along the edges of the wrapper, then fold it in half to create a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal.
  3. You can gather the two corners of the triangle and pinch them together to form a purse shape.
  4. In a pot, bring the vegetable broth and chili paste to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer while you cook the wontons.
Cooking
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling water in batches. Boil for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Serving
  1. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked wontons to bowls and ladle the chili broth over them. Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy!

Notes

For wrapper alternatives, use spring roll wrappers or make your own. Add grated ginger and sesame oil for extra flavor. Cook wontons right before serving for crispiness. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze uncooked for up to 3 months.
