Scale
Main Ingredients
- 20 gyozas or potstickers
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz / 400 ml) unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 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
- Prep Ingredients: Bring a large saucepan with salted water to a boil to cook the gyozas later. Grate the garlic cloves and ginger, so they’re ready to add to the soup base.
- 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, careful not to burn.
- Create Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk to the pot. Add low sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly until the curry paste is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Cook Gyozas: While the broth simmers, add the gyozas to the boiling salted water in the saucepan. Cook according to package directions, usually about 2 to 3 minutes until the gyozas float and are cooked through. Drain well.
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the cooked gyozas evenly between serving bowls. Ladle the hot coconut curry soup over the dumplings. Garnish with chopped chives and optionally add your favorite vegetables for extra color and nutrition. Serve immediately to enjoy the comforting flavors.
Notes
- You can customize this soup by adding vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or snap peas for added nutrition and texture.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to better control the saltiness of the soup.
- Adjust the amount of red curry paste to make the soup milder or spicier according to your preference.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth and use vegetarian dumplings instead of gyozas containing meat.
- Be careful not to overcook the gyozas to maintain their tender texture.
