Frozen chicken wontons are a staple in our freezer, but I usually just steam or pan-fry them and serve them as a meal add-on. Which is fine, but, a little boring.
Until now!
This is my new chicken wonton method – steaming them up with with a spicy sauce that is somewhere between dipping sauce and soup broth. It’s meant to be eaten in a bowl, like a soup – kinda, but it’s so much more than just broth with wontons. It’s luscious, dippable, scoopable, slurpable, and full of umami from the shiitake mushrooms and greens (like spinach or bok choy), if you choose to add some. The sesame oil gives even more depth, and the chili oil gives a bit of heat and a pop of color.
- 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.
- Add the frozen wontons, chicken broth, and teriyaki sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, with a lid on, until the wontons are heated through.
- Finish with remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, chili crisp, and top with sesame seeds and scallions.
