Instructions

Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions, ginger, and smashed garlic; sauté until onions caramelize.
Pour in 1 cup of vegan chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits. Add remaining broth, mushrooms (if using), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer covered for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
In a mixing bowl, combine vegan sausage, panko breadcrumbs, vegan eggs, grated ginger, minced chives, rice vinegar, black pepper, and sugar; mix well.
Drop teaspoon-sized balls of filling into the simmering broth; cook covered for about 15 minutes.
Stir in chopped bok choy and simmer until tender (2-3 minutes). Add wonton wrappers one at a time; simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot garnished with sliced green onions and chili oil.
