Equipment

  • Soup pot
  • Frying pan, air fryer or steamer to cook dumplings

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 thai chili peppers diced, optional
  • 1 inch ginger root ginely diced
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste vegan-friendly
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 cup bok choy chopped

To serve

  • 2 cups veggie dumplings frozen
  • 1 handful cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Then the onion, garlic, ginger and Thai chili peppers, if using. Saute until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add the 2 tablespoons of red curry paste, and stir until combined. 
  • Then add the coconut milk, vegetable broth and baby bok choy. Stir until and simmer covered on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • While that cooks, prepare your dumplings as desired. 
  • Disperse the dumplings into bowls, and pour the curry sauce over top. Garnish with cilantro, red Thai chili peppers, and sesame seeds as desired. Finish with a squeeze of lime. 

Notes

  • This recipe works just as well with green curry paste.
  • Be sure to check the ingredients of your red curry paste is vegan.
  • You can use any vegan dumplings you can find. I love vegetable, mushroom, or tofu dumplings.
  • If red curry paste is spicy enough on its own for you, skip the chilies.
  • Feel free to add or swap fresh veggies in this recipe. I used bok choy, but you can also enjoy this soup with bean sprouts, edamame, carrots, bell peppers, kimchi, and more!
