Ingredients
Scale
Wontons
- one 12-ounce bag frozen mini chicken cilantro wontons (Trader Joe’s or Costco)
Sauce and Soup Base
- 1–2 cups chicken broth (adjust depending on desired soupiness)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1–2 tablespoons chili crisp
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
Garnish
- green onions, sliced
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they are softened and flavorful, approximately 5-7 minutes. In the last minute or two of cooking, add the grated garlic and stir to incorporate it, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not burnt.
- Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen mini chicken wontons directly into the skillet with the mushrooms. Pour in the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the wontons are thoroughly heated through and tender.
- Add Finishing Touches: Remove the lid, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1-2 tablespoons of chili crisp to the skillet. Stir gently to combine all ingredients and coat the wontons and mushrooms evenly with the spicy sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wontons and sauce to serving bowls. Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top as garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the full blend of spicy, savory, and aromatic flavors.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chicken broth depending on how soupy or dry you prefer your wontons.
- Use mini chicken cilantro wontons for authentic flavor and a convenient size, but any chicken wonton variety works.
- Chili crisp amount can be adjusted for desired spiciness level.
- For a vegetarian variation, substitute wontons with vegetable-filled ones and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Ensure garlic is grated finely to release maximum flavor in the sauté step.
