Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen mini chicken cilantro wontons
- 1-2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp
- Green onions, sliced, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they are softened and develop a savory flavor, about 5-7 minutes. In the last minute or two of sautéing, add the grated garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen wontons directly into the skillet along with the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the wontons are thoroughly heated and tender. Adjust the amount of chicken broth depending on how soupy you want the dish.
- Finish and Garnish: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and chili crisp to infuse the sauce with richness and heat. Serve the wontons topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use mini chicken cilantro wontons for best flavor and size; however, any frozen chicken wontons can be used.
- Adjust the chili crisp amount to control spice level.
- You can substitute shiitake mushrooms with other mushrooms like cremini for variation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the wontons at their best texture.
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetarian wontons and vegetable broth.
