Ingredients
12 dumplings (fresh or frozen, any filling)
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons red curry paste
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat for best results)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice (plus more for serving)
2 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 red chili, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Stir in red curry paste and cook for another minute to release flavor.
3. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and coconut milk. Add soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
4. Add dumplings to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions (usually 5–8 minutes), until dumplings are cooked through and floating.
5. Remove from heat, stir in lime juice, and taste for seasoning.
6. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, and sliced chili if desired. Serve hot with extra lime wedges.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, use full-fat coconut milk.
Use vegetable broth and plant-based dumplings to make this recipe vegan.
Adjust the spice by adding more or less red curry paste or fresh chili as desired.
