Ingredients

Filling

400 g extra-firm tofu very finely crumbled
140 g Chinese chives finely chopped
12 shiitake mushrooms about 120 g, finely chopped
100 g carrot finely grated
4 tbsp scallions finely chopped (20 g)
2 cloves garlic very finely minced (10 g)
2 tsp fresh ginger minced (10 g)
½ tsp ground Sichuan pepper 1 g
3 tbsp neutral cooking oil 40 g
2 tbsp light soy sauce 30 g
2 tsp dark soy sauce 10 g
1½ tsp sesame oil 7 g
½–1 tsp fine sea salt 3–6 g, to taste
1 tsp granulated sugar 4 g

To Assemble

24 wonton wrappers about 120 g
1½ cups mushroom soaking liquid or vegetable stock (broth) hot (360 g)

Instructions

Add the tofu, Chinese chives, mushrooms, carrot, scallions, garlic, and ginger to a large bowl. Add the Sichuan pepper, neutral oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined and well seasoned.
Lightly grease four heatproof ramekins. Press one wonton wrapper into the base of each ramekin, letting the edges fold up the sides.
Spoon a thin, even layer of filling over the wrapper. Place a second wonton wrapper on top, then add another layer of filling. Repeat once more so each ramekin has three layers of filling, each separated by a wrapper.
Spoon ¼–⅓ cup of the hot broth evenly over the filling in each ramekin, letting it settle between the layers.
Place two wonton wrappers over the top of each ramekin to seal, gently pressing the edges down.
Loosely cover the ramekins with baking paper or foil. Place in a steamer over boiling water and steam for 15–18 minutes, until the wrappers are fully tender and the filling is hot through.
Rest for 1–2 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the broth from the base over the layers just before eating.

Optional to serve

Chilli oil, black vinegar, or extra chopped scallions at the table.
