Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 20 gyozas or potstickers
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz/400 ml) unsweetened coconut milk, full fat
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp lime juice
For Serving
- Chopped chives
- Your favorite vegetables (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Grate the garlic cloves and ginger so they’re ready to use.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the grated garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Make the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and the full-fat coconut milk. Add the low sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Stir continuously until the red curry paste dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
- Cook Gyozas: Meanwhile, add the gyozas or potstickers to the boiling salted water in the saucepan. Cook according to package instructions, usually 2–3 minutes until they float and are cooked through. Drain the gyozas thoroughly.
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the cooked gyozas between serving bowls or plates. Ladle the hot coconut curry broth over them. Garnish with chopped chives and add any optional fresh vegetables for a touch of green and extra nutrition. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth to make this recipe vegetarian-friendly.
- Adjust the amount of Thai red curry paste to control the spiciness of the soup.
- Adding fresh greens such as spinach, bok choy, or snap peas enhances the nutritional value and adds a fresh bite.
- Use frozen potstickers or gyozas for convenience and quick cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, simmer the soup a little longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
