Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Dumplings and Vegetables

  • 1216 fresh or frozen dumplings
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, baby spinach, or preferred)

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Fresh Thai basil or cilantro, chopped
  • Sliced red chili (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the curry base: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, allowing the spices to bloom fully.
  2. Stir in coconut milk and broth: Slowly pour in 1 can of coconut milk and 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine the curry paste evenly into the liquids. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  3. Add dumplings and vegetables: Drop in 12-16 dumplings along with your chosen vegetables. Let the soup simmer until dumplings are cooked through and vegetables are tender—about 6-8 minutes for fresh dumplings, slightly longer if frozen.
  4. Season and finish: Stir in 1 tablespoon of fish sauce or soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more curry paste or lime juice if desired. Toss in fresh Thai basil or cilantro just before serving for a bright finish.

Notes

  • Use quality curry paste for the best flavor foundation.
  • Allow the soup to simmer gently to marry the flavors well.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to keep their flavors vibrant.
  • Cook dumplings carefully to avoid overcooking and maintain their texture.
  • Adjust spiciness by adding coconut milk to mellow heat if needed.
