Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 300g dumplings (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Garnishes and Serving

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sliced red chili, for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring and cooking for an additional minute until fragrant, releasing their aromatic flavors.
  3. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, creating the soup base.
  4. Incorporate Coconut Milk: Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk and red curry paste until thoroughly combined, lending the soup its creamy texture and spicy depth.
  5. Introduce Dumplings: Add the dumplings to the pot and cook according to package instructions, generally about 5 to 7 minutes if frozen, until they are fully cooked through.
  6. Add Spinach: Once the dumplings are ready, fold in the fresh spinach leaves and allow them to wilt for 1 to 2 minutes, adding vibrant color and nutrients.
  7. Season: Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed to balance savory, tangy, and spicy flavors.
  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced red chili if desired, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
  9. Optional Accompaniments: Offer lime wedges on the side for diners who prefer an extra citrus kick.

Notes

  • Use vegetable or chicken broth depending on dietary preference or availability.
  • Fresh dumplings work best but frozen dumplings are a convenient alternative—just adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the heat level of the soup.
  • For a nuttier flavor, garnish with toasted peanuts as an optional topping.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable to vegetarian if using vegetable broth and vegetarian dumplings.
