Instructions
Bring water and lemongrass to a boil in pot.
Place miso in small bowl.
Pour about 1/2 cup boiling water into miso and whisk until smooth; pour into pot and whisk together.
Let simmer over medium-high heat to reduce slightly and for flavors to combine, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in spinach and simmer until just wilted, 1 minute.
Remove lemongrass stalk and discard.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add mushrooms and scallions and season with salt and pepper.
Saute until softened and beginning to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, then add vinegar, turn heat to low and cook 1 minute.
Add soy sauce and simmer until liquid is nearly dry, another 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer mushroom mixture to paper-towel-lined strainer and press out any excess moisture.
Working one at a time, lay wonton wrapper in diamond shape facing you.
Place 1 heaping teaspoon filling into center. Moisten bottom edges of wrapper with water using your finger, then fold over and seal tightly. If desired, wet one edge of triangle and seal together two edges so wonton looks like a bishop's hat.
To eat immediately, bring soup back to simmer and cook dumplings in soup for 2 to 3 minutes. To make ahead, keep dumplings separate in an airtight container.
Pour soup into airtight container. Reheat soup with dumplings in microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds, until dumplings heated and papers cooked through.
