Dumplings
- 20 gyozas or potstickers
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Soup Base
- 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
- Chopped chives, for serving
- Your favorite vegetables (optional), for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Grate the garlic cloves and ginger so they’re ready for cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the grated garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Make the Soup Base: Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Stir continuously until the red curry paste is fully dissolved into the broth. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Cook Gyozas: While the soup simmers, place the gyozas into the boiling salted water from the saucepan. Cook them according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes, until heated through and tender. Drain the gyozas once cooked.
- Serve: Divide the cooked gyozas among serving bowls or plates. Ladle the hot coconut curry soup over the gyozas. Garnish with chopped chives and optionally add your favorite vegetables for more color and nutrition. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Thai Coconut Curry Dumpling Soup.
Notes
- Gyozas can be substituted with any preferred dumplings or potstickers.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier broth.
- Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste to control the spice level.
- Adding fresh vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or snap peas enhances nutrition and texture.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari.
