Course: Soup

Cuisine: Filipino

Servings: 4 -6 servings

Ingredients

For Frying:

▢ 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
▢ ⅓ cup garlic minced

Instructions

Fried Garlic:

In a frying pan over medium heat, fry garlic until golden brown and set aside.

How to Make the Molo and Molo (Wonton) Assembly:

In a bowl, soak TVP in hot water for about 5-10 minutes or until TVP has expanded and looks “fluffy”. Remove the water and now it’s ready to use.
In another bowl, add TVP, carrots, tofu, garlic, green onions, salt, pepper, and mix until combined.
Preheat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add filling and fry for about 5-10 minutes. Transfer the filling to the container and allow to cool completely.

To assemble:

Lay a piece of wonton wrapper flat on a plate. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture and place in the middle of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wonton wrapper over the mound to form a triangle. Press the sides to keep the mixture intact.
Take the two sides of the wrap and fold it towards the center. It should look like a bishop's mitre or head gear.
Set dumplings on a tray. Repeat the process until all the molo filling has been used.

For the Soup:

Preheat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, shredded oyster mushroom, and sauté until onions are translucent.
Add water and bring to a roiling boil, add salt, pepper, and mushroom seasoning, and add pancit molo (wontons) and boil for 5 more minutes or until the wontons start to float.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
Garnish with fried garlic, green onions, or leeks. Serve warm.
