Chicken Wontons in Spicy Chili Sauce By Pinch of Yum

How To Make Chicken Wontons with Spicy Sauce

Step 1: Cut Up Your Vegetables.

I like shiitake mushrooms (for flavoring the brothy goodness) and green onions (for topping). I’ve also loved the versions I’ve made with either spinach or bok choy!

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms and Wontons.

I usually start with the mushrooms in some sesame oil, and once they’re good to go, I add my wontons.

Step 3: Build the Sauce.

I add chicken broth, a bit of teriyaki sauce, a spoonful of chili oil, and a drizzle of sesame oil. It’s somewhere between a dipping sauce, a soup broth, and a finishing oil. It’s all three in one.

Step 4: Scoop It Into Bowls, Garnish, and Serve.

Serve it up, top with green onions and sesame seeds, and dive in.
