Instructions

Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil (or olive oil) over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the shallot and sauté for 4-6 minutes until softened.
Add Aromatics and Mushrooms: Stir in the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze and Add Broth: Pour in the soy sauce to deglaze the pan, then add the chicken stock and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Cook the Wontons: Add the frozen wontons or potstickers to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through.
Finish the Soup: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped scallions.
Serve: Divide the soup between bowls and drizzle with chili crisp if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the soy sauce to taste depending on your preferred saltiness level.
If you don’t have shiitake mushrooms, you can use any other mushroom variety such as cremini or white button mushrooms.
For extra flavor, you can add a splash of rice vinegar or sesame seeds to garnish.
