Ingredients
  

For the Wontons
  • 1 package Frozen Chicken Wontons Main protein for a quick meal; can be swapped with vegetarian dumplings.
For the Broth
  • 8 ounces Shiitake Mushrooms Adds rich umami; button mushrooms work if shiitakes are unavailable.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce Enhances sweetness and depth; soy sauce also works well.
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Oil Provides a spicy kick; adjust according to your heat preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Boosts aroma and richness; optional but recommended.
For the Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Chop finely for best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté them for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften.
  2. Next, gently stir in the frozen chicken wontons, ensuring they are coated with the aromatic oil and mushrooms. Sauté the wontons for about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, along with ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce and 1 tablespoon of chili oil. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Carefully ladle the chicken wontons and spicy broth into serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
