Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 5 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (plus more to taste)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- 8 oz frozen chicken or vegetable wontons or potstickers
- 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
- Chili crisp for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. When shimmering, add the shallot and sauté for 4-6 minutes or until softened.
- Aromatics: Stir in the garlic, ginger, brown sugar and mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Simmer: Deglaze the pan with soy sauce before pouring in the broth and water. Bring to a boil and add the frozen wontons. Boil for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
- Finish: Remove from the heat and stir in the scallions. Serve in bowls with chili crisp if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers by refrigerating the broth base separately. Reheat only the desired number of wontons to prevent them from becoming mushy. The broth keeps for 4-5 days in an airtight container. Optional additions: shredded carrots, cabbage, spinach, or cubed tofu.
