Girl's Day Flower and Purse Soup

Тhis is a very simple (and late) soup for Girl's Day in Japan. When your little (insert female-relative) dives into this little soup, they'll get a wonderful surprise. At the bottom of the bowl is some steamed lotus root, and surrounding it are wonton "flowers" and purses. The purses are filled with vegan imitation crab, sesame oil, and spring onions. The broth is simply shiitake broth that has been spiced up a bit with five spice powder, serrano peppers and dried shiitake mushrooms. It's obvious that this was made for me - but you can tweak it as you like for the next girl's day.

Enjoy!
