Ingredients

Scale

Dumplings

  • 20 gyozas (or potstickers)

Soup Base

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz/400 ml) unsweetened coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

For Serving

  • Chopped chives
  • Your favorite vegetables (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Grate the garlic cloves and the fresh ginger to ensure they release their flavor evenly throughout the soup.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the grated garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Create Soup Base: Pour in the chicken broth and the coconut milk to the pot with sautéed aromatics. Add low sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Stir diligently until the red curry paste is fully dissolved, then bring the soup to a boil.
  4. Simmer Soup: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.
  5. Cook Gyozas: While the soup simmers, add the gyozas to the boiling salted water prepared earlier. Cook them according to the package instructions, typically about 2 to 3 minutes, until they float and are cooked through. Drain the gyozas once done.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Divide the cooked gyozas evenly into serving bowls. Ladle the hot coconut curry soup over them. Garnish with chopped chives and add your favorite vegetables if desired for extra color and nutrition. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make the soup vegetarian, just replace gyozas with a vegetarian option.
  • Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste according to your spice preference.
  • Adding fresh vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or snap peas can enhance the nutritional value and texture.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer it for an additional 5 minutes or blend a small portion of the soup and stir it back in.
  • Garnishing with fresh lime wedges can add a refreshing tang to the finished dish.
