Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
- 14 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen wontons (mini chicken cilantro preferred)
- 1-2 cups chicken broth (adjust for desired soupiness)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
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 softened and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the grated garlic during the last 1-2 minutes of sautéing to release its flavor without burning.
- Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen wontons to the skillet along with chicken broth and teriyaki sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for about 5 minutes, or until the wontons are heated through and tender.
- Finish with Flavors: Remove the lid and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the chili crisp, adjusting the amount according to your heat preference.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot to enhance texture and flavor complexity.
Notes
- This dish provides bold, complex flavors combining earthy shiitake mushrooms and savory chicken wontons with a spicy, umami-packed broth.
- Adjust the amount of chicken broth for a more soupy or saucy consistency depending on your preference.
- Chili crisp adds both heat and crunch, but can be reduced or omitted for a milder dish.
- Using mini chicken cilantro wontons from Trader Joe’s or Costco is recommended for authenticity and convenience.
- For gluten-free adaptation, verify teriyaki sauce and wontons are gluten-free or substitute accordingly.
