Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the baby bok choy leaves and frozen wontons; reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until the bok choy wilts and wontons float.
Remove from heat and stir in the green parts of scallions, remaining sesame oil, soy sauce, and apple vinegar.
Ladle soup into bowls with approximately 5 wontons per serving; drizzle with chili oil if desired.
