Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- one 12-ounce bag frozen wontons (mini chicken cilantro flavor recommended)
- 1–2 cups chicken broth (adjust depending on soupiness preference)
- 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 of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they are softened and flavorful. During the last minute or two of cooking, add the grated garlic and continue to sauté, allowing the garlic to release its aroma and infuse the mushrooms.
- Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen wontons directly into the skillet along with the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the wontons are fully heated through and tender.
- Finish with Sauce and Garnishes: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the chili crisp to distribute the spicy flavor evenly. Remove from heat and top the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds to add freshness and a nutty crunch.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chicken broth to make the dish more or less soupy according to your preference.
- Chili crisp adds both heat and texture, but adjust the quantity to match your spice tolerance.
- Using mini chicken cilantro wontons enhances the flavor, but any chicken wontons will work.
- For a vegetarian variation, substitute wontons and broth with vegetable-based alternatives.
- To deepen flavor, mushrooms can be cooked until slightly caramelized before adding garlic.
