Preparation Steps
- In a large Dutch oven or high-sided pot, heat the sesame oil (and olive oil if needed) over medium-high heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms, shredded carrots, about two-thirds of the sliced green onions (reserving the rest for garnish), minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms and carrots begin to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth. Add the soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the bok choy. Let it simmer in the broth for about 3-5 minutes, or until wilted.
- Add the frozen wontons to the pot. Simmer for about 3 minutes, or until they are cooked through. They typically float when done. You don't need to fully thaw them before adding; they will cook in the broth.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra spice if desired.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions and optional fresh cilantro or herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
This soup is best served immediately to enjoy the texture of the wontons and vegetables. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or snow peas. For a spicier kick, add a dash of chili garlic sauce.
