Ingredients

20 gyozas or potstickers
4 garlic cloves, grated

1 tsp grated ginger
4 cups chicken broth

1 can (14 oz) unsweetened coconut milk
3 tbsp Thai red curry paste

2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp brown sugar
Vegetable oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

Step 1: Boil salted water in a large saucepan. Cook the gyozas according to package instructions, then drain well and set aside.
Step 2: In a large pot, heat a splash of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the grated garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Stir in chicken broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 4: Divide the cooked gyozas among serving bowls. Ladle the hot coconut curry soup over the dumplings.
Step 5: Garnish with fresh herbs or chili slices if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and use vegetarian gyozas.

Add fresh lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy brightness.
Include chopped fresh cilantro or Thai basil as a garnish to enhance the flavor.
If you prefer a spicier soup, increase the amount of Thai red curry paste or add sliced fresh chilies.

Storage

Store any leftover soup and cooked gyozas separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the soup gently on the stove and warm the gyozas in a skillet or microwave before serving to keep them from becoming soggy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen gyozas for this soup?

Yes, frozen gyozas work well. Just follow the package cooking instructions before adding them to the soup.

What can I substitute for Thai red curry paste?

If you don’t have Thai red curry paste, you can use a mixture of curry powder and a pinch of chili flakes, though the flavor will be slightly different. Alternatively, try green curry or massaman curry paste for a new twist.
