Description

This quick and flavorful recipe features mini chicken cilantro wontons simmered in a savory blend of teriyaki sauce and chicken broth, accented with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and a spicy chili crisp sauce. Garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, it’s a perfect 15-minute meal that balances comforting savory tastes with a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Sauté

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, grated

Main

  • One 12-ounce bag frozen mini chicken cilantro wontons
  • 1-2 cups chicken broth (adjust based on desired soupiness)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp

Garnish

  • Green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they become soft and flavorful. In the last one to two minutes, add the grated garlic to release its aroma without burning.
  2. Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen mini chicken cilantro 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 the wontons simmer for about 5 minutes, or until they are heated through and tender.
  3. Finish and Garnish: Remove the lid, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1 to 2 tablespoons of chili crisp to add a spicy, rich flavor. Serve immediately, topped with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for an added crunch and freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chicken broth to create a soupier or more saucy dish according to preference.
  • Use mini chicken cilantro wontons for the best flavor match; however, other frozen wonton varieties can be substituted.
  • Chili crisp amount can be adjusted to control the heat level.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetarian wontons.
  • This recipe is best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
