Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Main Ingredients:

  • 1215 dumplings (vegetarian, chicken, or pork)
  • 1 can (14 ounces/400 milliliters) coconut milk
  • 4 cups (1 liter) vegetable broth

Vegetables and Aromatics:

  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
  • Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
  • Green onions (finely chopped)

Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Warm vegetable oil in a spacious pot over medium heat, creating a flavorful base for the Thai-inspired soup.
  2. Sauté chopped onions and crimson bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and slightly softened.
  3. Introduce minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and vibrant red curry paste, stirring continuously to release their aromatic essence.
  4. Allow the spice mixture to bloom for 1-2 minutes, intensifying the fragrant blend of ingredients.
  5. Stream in vegetable broth, creamy coconut milk, umami-rich soy sauce, and a touch of brown sugar, whisking to create a harmonious liquid foundation.
  6. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, allowing flavors to meld and develop depth.
  7. Carefully nestle frozen dumplings into the bubbling liquid, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  8. Maintain a low simmer for 5-7 minutes, cooking dumplings until they become perfectly heated and delightfully tender.
  9. Gently fold in delicate baby spinach or crisp bok choy, watching the greens gracefully wilt into the soup.
  10. Transfer the steaming soup into serving bowls, creating an inviting presentation.
  11. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and sliced green onions as a final flourish, and place a zesty lime wedge alongside to brighten the dish.

Notes

  • Choose dumplings carefully, selecting frozen varieties that complement Thai red curry flavors like pork, chicken, or vegetable-filled options.
  • Swap vegetable broth with chicken or seafood stock for deeper umami profile if preferred dietary needs allow.
  • Adjust spice levels by reducing or increasing red curry paste quantity, catering to individual heat tolerance without compromising authentic taste.
  • Transform recipe into gluten-free version by using tamari instead of traditional soy sauce and selecting certified gluten-free dumplings.
