Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (or vegan alternative)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 20 frozen potstickers or gyozas (any variety)
- ¼ cup chopped chives or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by heating a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Introduce the minced garlic and ginger into the shimmering oil, allowing it to sauté for 1–2 minutes. This initial step is crucial as it lays the flavor foundation with its mouthwatering aroma.
- Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the pot followed by the luscious coconut milk for richness. Stir these together as you bring them to a gentle simmer. This step melds the aromatic flavors with the creamy coconut, forming a harmonious broth.
- Incorporate the Thai red curry paste into the mix, stirring until fully integrated. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Allow this vibrant concoction to simmer for around 5 minutes to enable the flavors to deeply blend.
- Gently drop the frozen dumplings into the seasoned broth. Cook for 5–7 minutes, watching for them to become tender and rise to the surface, signifying their readiness. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped chives or cilantro for a fresh, herbal finish.
Notes
For added zest, consider garnishing with a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving. If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of broth slightly or let the soup simmer longer.
