Directions

In a large pot on medium-high heat, add the broth, ponzu, ginger, honey, chili garlic sauce, garlic, button mushroom slices and scallion whites. Stir and taste immediately; if needed, add a bit more honey to balance. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.

Add tofu strips.

In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and cornstarch until smooth. Raise the heat of the soup and add the cornstarch-vinegar slurry. Whisk until the soup slightly thickens, within a minute or two.

 

Garnish each with the scallion greens, a few drops of sesame oil and the cilantro, if you like. Add crunchy won tons for serving.
