Introduction

This comforting Gyoza Soup brings together savory Japanese dumplings and fresh vegetables in a flavorful broth. Ready in just 10 minutes, it’s a perfect quick meal that’s both satisfying and light.

Ingredients

5 vegetable gyozas
2 spring onions, thinly sliced

½ – 1 bulb pack choi, sliced into chunks
20 g ginger, finely grated

1 clove garlic, minced
½ courgette, spiralised

500 ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp chilli oil

Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the chilli oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add half of the sliced spring onion (the white part) and season with a pinch of salt. Fry gently for about 2 minutes.
Step 2: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and fry for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the gyozas, pak choi, courgette, vegetable stock, and soy sauce to the saucepan. Stir everything together to combine.
Step 4: Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for about 7 minutes until the gyozas are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 5: Serve the soup hot, garnished with the remaining spring onion slices and a sprinkle of chilli flakes if you like extra heat. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Try adding mushrooms or spinach for extra veggies and flavor.
Use chicken or pork gyozas if you prefer a meat version.
If you want a spicier broth, increase the amount of chilli oil or add fresh sliced chili.

To make the soup heartier, add cooked noodles or rice before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warm. Note that the gyozas may soften over time but will still taste delicious.
