Viral Vegan Soup Dumpling Lasagna

Ingredients

• 100 g Firm tofu (mashed or finely crumbled)
• 2 Shiitake mushrooms (finely minced)
• 1 Green onion (finely sliced)
• 0.5 tsp Ginger (grated)
• 1 tsp Soy sauce (for the filling)
• 0.5 tsp Sesame oil
• 6 Wonton wrappers (vegan-friendly)
• 0.25 cup Vegetable broth (rich umami style)
• Chili oil (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the mashed firm tofu, minced shiitake mushrooms, sliced green onion, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to create a uniform filling.

2. 2

   Prepare a small ramekin. Place one wonton wrapper at the bottom of the ramekin.

3. 3

   Spread a thin, even layer of the tofu and mushroom filling over the wrapper.

4. 4

   Repeat the layering process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling, finishing with a wonton wrapper on top.

5. 5

   Pour the vegetable broth over the layered 'lasagna' in the ramekin.

6. 6

   Place the ramekin into a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 15 minutes until the wrappers are tender and the filling is heated through.

7. 7

   Carefully remove the ramekin from the steamer. Serve immediately, topped with extra green onions or chili oil if desired.
