Cabbage and Mushroom Wontons

You won’t believe these wontons are vegetarian. They are super savory and full of umami. You can attempt to make your own wonton wraps, but it is important that they are extremely thin - this is why I opted for store bought ones. You can find them at any asian market and most supermarkets usually near the fresh pasta.
