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
Garnishes and Extras
- Chopped chives (for serving)
- Your favorite vegetables (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Grate the garlic cloves and ginger. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil to cook the gyozas later.
- Cook aromatics: Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add grated garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Make soup base: Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk to the pot. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Stir well until the curry paste dissolves completely.
- Simmer soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to develop flavor.
- Cook gyozas: While the soup simmers, carefully add gyozas to the boiling salted water in the saucepan. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes until heated through and tender. Drain once done.
- 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 color and extra nutrition.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot for a comforting, flavorful meal that combines the creaminess of coconut milk with the aromatic Thai spices and tender dumplings.
Notes
- You can add vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or mushrooms for more texture and nutrition.
- Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of Thai red curry paste according to your heat preference.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to keep salt levels moderate.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth and omit fish sauce or replace with vegan alternatives.
- Be careful not to overcook gyozas to keep them tender without falling apart.
- Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but gyozas are best served freshly cooked.
