Shiitake mushrooms with chicken wontons in a spicy, rich brothy-type sauce laced with sesame and chili oil. WOWZA. Big, bossy flavor, incredibly satisfying, and takes exactly 15 minutes to make!

I love this recipe!

How To Make Chicken Wontons with Spicy Sauce

Step 1: Cut Up Your Vegetables.

I like shiitake mushrooms (for flavoring the brothy goodness) and green onions (for topping). I’ve also loved the versions I’ve made with either spinach or bok choy!

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms and Wontons.

I usually start with the mushrooms in some sesame oil, and once they’re good to go, I add my wontons.

Step 3: Build the Sauce.

I add chicken broth, a bit of teriyaki sauce, a spoonful of chili oil, and a drizzle of sesame oil. It’s somewhere between a dipping sauce, a soup broth, and a finishing oil. It’s all three in one.

Step 4: Scoop It Into Bowls, Garnish, and Serve.

Serve it up, top with green onions and sesame seeds, and dive in.

Ingredients

toppings

green onions, sliced

sesame seeds

chicken wontons with spicy sauce

12 cups chicken broth (depending on how soupy you like it)

3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided

1 clove garlic, grated

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

12 tablespoons chili crisp

14 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced

one 12-ounce bag frozen wontons (I like the mini chicken cilantro ones from Trader Joes or Costco)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until softened and yummy. Add garlic for the last minute or two of sautéing.

Step 2

Step 3

Finish with remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, chili crisp, and top with sesame seeds and scallions.
