Ingredients
For the soup:
3 green onions, chopped, white and light green parts separated from dark green tops
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced or grated
4 cups chicken, beef, or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon coconut oil
12 ounces wontons, frozen or fresh
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 to 2 dashes fish sauce
1 dash rice wine vinegar, optional
For the chili oil:
1/2 cup neutral oil, such as peanut, avocado, vegetable, or canola
1 teaspoon sesame oil, optional
1/4 cup red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cinnamon stick, optional
Instructions
Make the chili oil by combining the red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, and cinnamon stick in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the neutral oil in a small pan until hot. Carefully pour the hot oil over the chili mixture, stir, and let it infuse.
In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant.
Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the wontons, soy sauce, fish sauce, and rice wine vinegar if using. Simmer for a few minutes until the wontons are heated through.
Ladle into bowls and top with the dark green onion tops and a generous drizzle of chili oil before serving.
Notes
Store-bought chili oil can be used to save even more time.
Frozen mini wontons work especially well for a fast and easy meal.
Adjust the chili oil amount based on your spice preference.
Rice wine vinegar adds a little brightness, but it can be left out.
