Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
1 cup finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp ginger, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
30 wonton wrappers
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, green onions, and cilantro to create the filling.
2. Place one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal, pressing to remove air.
3. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced ginger and sauté until fragrant.
4. Pour in chicken broth and water, bringing to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Reduce heat to simmer and gently add wontons, cooking for 5-7 minutes or until they float.
6. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions and cilantro if desired.

Storage

Store leftover soup without wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store cooked wontons separately to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Reheating

Reheat the broth in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the wontons and simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
