Recipe

Ingredients

1 tbsp oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, thinly sliced into rounds

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 tbsp Thai curry paste (red or green, your choice)

250 ml coconut milk

250 ml water

3-4 bok choy leaves, roughly chopped

1 tbsp cornflour, mixed with 2 tbsp water

8-10 frozen dumplings (any variety you love)

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Build the Base:
    Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and let it sizzle until fragrant. Toss in the carrots, mushrooms, and Thai curry paste, and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

  2. Add the Creamy Goodness:
    Pour in the coconut milk and water, and toss in the bok choy leaves. Stir everything together, then cover the pot and let the mixture come to a boil.

  3. Thicken the Soup:
    Once the soup is bubbling, add the cornflour slurry to give it a slightly thick, velvety texture. Stir until well combined.

  4. Poach the Dumplings:
    Add the frozen dumplings directly into the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and let them poach in the flavorful stock until they are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a good mix of veggies, broth, and dumplings. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, chili flakes, or a squeeze of lime if you like.
