🍜 Recipe Card
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: About 6 bowls (depending on how much you “taste test”)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 24 ounces mini frozen wontons
- 2 cups uncooked noodles (soup, egg, or chow mein)
Instructions
- Sauté the flavor base – Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Drizzle in the olive oil, then toss in the onions and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the kitchen smells like you know what you’re doing.
- Add the liquids – Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Wontons & noodles time – Dump in the frozen wontons and uncooked noodles. Don’t overthink the order — they’re all going to hang out together anyway.
- Cook – Secure the lid, set to Manual or Pressure Cook for 3 minutes.
- Quick release – Carefully vent the steam (this is where you avoid giving yourself a noodle facial).
- Spinach at the end – Stir in the chopped spinach right before serving so it stays bright and fresh.
- Serve – Ladle into bowls, maybe top with a drizzle of sesame oil or some chopped green onions if you’re feeling fancy.
❓ FAQs
Can I make this without an Instant Pot?
Totally! Just use a big pot on the stove — bring the broth to a boil, add the wontons and noodles, and cook until everything’s tender.
Do the wontons have to be frozen?
Nope, but frozen ones hold up better during cooking. Fresh ones cook super quick, so you’d want to toss them in at the end.
Can I use veggie broth?
For sure. Just swap the chicken broth for veggie broth, and maybe add a dash more soy sauce for extra depth.
How long will leftovers last?
In the fridge, about 3 days. Just know the noodles will keep soaking up broth — so, um, it might turn into a wonton noodle stew (still delicious).
