Lindsay\u2019s Notes<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Until now! <\/p>\n

This is my new chicken wonton method \u2013 steaming them up with with a spicy sauce that is somewhere between dipping sauce and soup broth. It\u2019s meant to be eaten in a bowl, like a soup \u2013 kinda, but it\u2019s so much more than just broth with wontons. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a full meal, and it\u2019s one of my current faves.<\/p>\n

My girls can\u2019t handle the spiciness in the chili oil, but I just steam a few of the chicken wontons for them to eat plain or dipped in teriyaki sauce, and they love it. Meanwhile, Bjork and I have our bowls tipped up to the sky getting every last lick of that spicy broth-sauce out of the bowl. No drops left behind!<\/p>\n

\n

How To Make Chicken Wontons with Spicy Sauce<\/h2>\n

Step 1: Cut Up Your Vegetables.<\/h3>\n

I like shiitake mushrooms (for flavoring the brothy goodness) and green onions (for topping). I\u2019ve also loved the versions I\u2019ve made with either spinach or bok choy!<\/p>\n

\"Bowl<\/figure>\n

Step 2: Saut\u00e9 the Mushrooms and Wontons.<\/h3>\n

I usually start with the mushrooms in some sesame oil, and once they\u2019re good to go, I add my wontons.<\/p>\n

\"Chicken<\/figure>\n

Step 3: Build the Sauce.<\/h3>\n

I add chicken broth, a bit of teriyaki sauce, a spoonful of chili oil, and a drizzle of sesame oil. It\u2019s somewhere between a dipping sauce, a soup broth, and a finishing oil. It\u2019s all three in one.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/figure>\n

Step 4: Scoop It Into Bowls, Garnish, and Serve.<\/h3>\n

Serve it up, top with green onions and sesame seeds, and dive in.<\/p>\n
