Ingredients
Scale
Dumplings
- 12 frozen or fresh soup dumplings
Curry Sauce
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Fresh basil or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the curry sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute to release the flavors.
- Simmer the sauce: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the curry paste. Add fish sauce and brown sugar to balance the flavors. Let the sauce simmer gently on low heat for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Cook the dumplings: Add the soup dumplings directly into the simmering curry sauce. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings are tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Spoon dumplings and curry sauce into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can use store-bought frozen soup dumplings or homemade ones for best results.
- If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of red curry paste.
- Fish sauce is optional but adds a layer of umami; substitute with soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
- Serve with steamed jasmine rice to make it a complete meal.
