Is it bad to always think about food? all the time? Like literally all the time, I want second breakfast, which should fulfil this criteria, it should be light, warm and fresh. I have quite plenty of time in the morning, so making this wonton is like my morning entertainment that I could devour it at the end *I sound like cold blood cooker haha, but don’t worried this recipe are very vegan.

Suitable for your weekend maybe, not too elaborate work, but need some plenty of patience and time. There are a lot of way to serve this wonton, but I choose to have some soup. The soup itself would fit for cold bloody winter, I put some spice it in, like cinnamon and clove, while the soup are infuse with garlic and celery stalk, creating clean, simple and clear broth.

You can fold the wonton as you fancy, but mine just simple folding it into triangle, un-fuzzy and practical. You can get the dumpling skin from the Asian grocery store, choose one for soup, because there are one for fried.

Right, shall we?
