Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons sesame oil (, divided)
  • 3 scallions (, diced small, white and green parts separated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (, minced)
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger ((or ginger paste))
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms ((stems removed))
  • 48 ounces (6 cups) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 baby bok choy (, leaves separated, ends trimmed, and thoroughly washed)
  • 30 frozen mini wontons
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine ((or mirin or dry sherry))
  • drizzle of chili oil (, for serving, optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, warm 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add in the white parts of the scallions, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms; stir constantly until the mushrooms have softened, about 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour in the chicken broth; bring to a boil. Then add in the baby bok choy and frozen wontons; reduce heat to a gentle bubble and cook for about 5 minutes until the bok choy is wilted and the wontons float to the top and are heated through (you can cut one open to check.)

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and stir in the green parts of the green onions, the remaining teaspoon sesame oil, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine.

  4. 4

    Ladle soup into bowls with 5 wontons per serving. Drizzle with a bit of chili oil, if desired.
