Description

These Chicken Wontons in Spicy Chili Sauce offer a deliciously savory and spicy twist on a classic appetizer. Tender wontons are simmered in a flavorful broth infused with teriyaki sauce and garlic, then finished with chili crisp, sesame oil, and fresh green onions and sesame seeds for a perfect balance of heat, umami, and crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 14 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 12-ounce bag frozen chicken cilantro mini wontons
  • 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

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they soften and become flavorful, about 5-7 minutes. Add the grated garlic during the last 1-2 minutes to enhance the aroma without burning it.
  2. Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen wontons to the skillet along with chicken broth and teriyaki sauce. Cover with a lid and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes until the wontons are fully cooked and heated through, and the flavors meld nicely.
  3. Finish and Serve: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the chili crisp to infuse a spicy, crunchy kick. Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving to add freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust chicken broth quantity depending on whether you prefer a thicker sauce or more soup-like consistency.
  • Use mini wontons for bite-sized servings; larger ones will require longer cooking time.
  • Chili crisp can be substituted with chili oil if unavailable.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetable wontons.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy wontons at their best texture.
