Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 package frozen dumplings (pork, chicken, veggie)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Lime wedges
  • Sliced red chilies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and sautΓ© until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add the Thai red curry paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, then add the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Carefully add the dumplings to the soup and cook according to package directions (usually about 5-7 minutes). Use tongs to flip them halfway through if needed.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Add extra curry paste for heat, or a splash of lime juice for brightness.
  9. Once the dumplings are cooked and tender, serve the soup hot in bowls.
  10. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, lime wedges, and sliced red chilies if desired.

Notes

[‘Allow the curry paste to sautΓ© to release its full flavor.’, ‘Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamy texture.’, ‘Simmer the soup gently to prevent the coconut milk from separating.’, ‘Flip dumplings carefully to avoid breaking them.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning at every step for a balanced flavor.’]
