Ingredients
Scale
Sauté
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
Main Ingredients
- one 12-ounce bag frozen wontons (mini chicken cilantro flavor recommended)
- 1–2 cups chicken broth (adjust depending on desired soupiness)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
Toppings
- 1–2 tablespoons chili crisp
- green onions, sliced
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they become soft and flavorful, about 4-5 minutes. Add the grated garlic during the last minute to release its aroma without burning.
- Add Wontons and Simmer: Add the frozen chicken wontons to the skillet along with 1 to 2 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce. Cover with a lid and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the wontons are fully heated through, ensuring they become tender and infused with the rich broth and sauce.
- Finish and Garnish: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the chili crisp for a spicy kick. Serve the wontons topped with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chicken broth based on whether you prefer a dry dish or a soupy consistency.
- Use the mini chicken cilantro wontons for enhanced flavor but other varieties may be substituted.
- Chili crisp can be adjusted or omitted if you prefer less spice.
- For vegetarian adaptation, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetable-based wontons.
- This recipe is quick and ideal for a weeknight meal or appetizer.
