Instructions



1. Wonton Preparation: Combine all ingredients except skins in a stainless steel bowl and stir together with a fork; or pulse several times in a food processor to combine. Place a small amount of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush top two edges of wrapper with water and fold over into a triangle to seal while pushing air out of the filling with your fingers. Moisten two tips of wrapper and fold together; repeat with the rest of the wontons. Poach in simmering water until wrinkled and cooked through; keep warm for soup.
   
   
2. Soup Preparation: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook through but do not brown! Add the chicken broth, vinegar, tamari, and ginger. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Add the Shiitake mushrooms and simmer another 10 minutes. Add the cooked wontons and heat through. Just before serving, add the chopped cilantro.
