Instructions

Add the tofu to a bowl and mash with your hands. Add the shiitake mushrooms, Chinese greens, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil and salt and mix until combined.
Add 1 heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger into some water and run it along two edges. Fold the bottom corner up and seal to form a triangle (see photo above). Wet one corner and bring the other corner and press gently so they stick together. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling until complete.
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add wontons to the water (as many as you can add without over crowding). Wait for the water to come to a rolling boil again and cook for 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook your wontons.
In the meantime, also heat up some broth. Use a slotted ladle and remove the wontons into a bowl. Add 1-1 1/4 cup of broth and serve with scallions and aroma oil (or sesame oil). Enjoy!

Notes

*If you prefer a softer filling, blanch the greens for 45 seconds in boiling water first. Rinse with cold water, squeeze excess liquid out and then finely chop.
** I used a broth infused with a little ginger. If your broth is plain, simmer 2 3/4 cup of broth with a piece of ginger for 5 minutes.
