Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- Green onions, sliced

- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) sesame oil, divided
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) teriyaki sauce
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 milliliters) chili crisp

Instructions
- Warm sesame oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature, introducing shiitake mushrooms and sautéing until they transform into a tender, flavor-rich ingredient.
- Incorporate minced garlic during the final moments of mushroom cooking, allowing its aromatic essence to permeate the mixture.
- Gently introduce frozen chicken wontons into the skillet, complementing them with chicken broth and teriyaki sauce to enhance their flavor profile.
- Cover the skillet and allow the contents to simmer approximately 5 minutes, ensuring wontons become thoroughly heated and absorb the surrounding liquid’s richness.
- Drizzle additional sesame oil and sprinkle chili crisp across the dish, creating a vibrant and bold flavor dimension.
- Garnish with delicately sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, providing visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Transfer immediately to serving plates, preserving the dish’s optimal temperature and ensuring a delectable dining experience.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, fresh shiitake mushrooms for a more robust umami flavor that enhances the overall taste of the dish.
- Substitute frozen wontons with homemade or fresh store-bought versions for a more authentic texture and personalized touch.
- Adjust the chili crisp quantity based on your spice tolerance, starting with a small amount and gradually increasing for perfect heat levels.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of teriyaki sauce and ensure the wontons are made with gluten-free wrappers.
