Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can coconut milk (about 13.5 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 10 ounces frozen dumplings (shrimp, chicken, or pork)
  • 4 baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
  • 1 lime, juiced

Optional Garnishes

  • Sliced chili pepper
  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Chili oil

Optional Serving Suggestion

  • Cooked jasmine rice (½ cup per serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the curry base: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the Thai red curry paste, avocado oil, fish sauce, and grated fresh ginger. Stir continuously for 30 seconds to release the flavors and aromas.
  2. Add liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring well to fully incorporate the curry paste mixture into the broth.
  3. Bring to boil and add dumplings and bok choy: Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen dumplings into the pot and layer the halved bok choy on top. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cook dumplings and wilt bok choy: Let everything cook for about 5 minutes or until the dumplings are heated through and the bok choy is tender and wilted.
  5. Serve: Divide the soup, dumplings, and bok choy equally among four bowls. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and top with optional garnishes like sliced chili pepper, sesame seeds, chopped fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of chili oil if desired. For a more filling meal, add ½ cup of cooked jasmine rice to each bowl.

Notes

  • Type of dumplings: Shrimp dumplings are recommended for this recipe, but chicken and pork dumplings work equally well.
  • Storage: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
