Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp neutral oil for sautéing
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2.5 tbsp Thai red curry paste adjust to heat preference
  • 4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 13.5 fl oz full-fat coconut milk one standard can
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce or use extra soy sauce to keep it vegetarian
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 16 oz frozen dumplings or potstickers any filling you like
  • 3 cup baby spinach loosely packed
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice plus more to taste
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup chopped cilantro for garnish
  • 0.25 cup sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm the oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
  • Sauté the onion until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Bloom the red curry paste in the pot, stirring for 1 minute.
  • Pour in broth and coconut milk. Whisk to dissolve the paste.
  • Season with fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add mushrooms and bell pepper. Simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Slip in the frozen dumplings. Cover and simmer until cooked, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach to wilt. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls. Top with cilantro and green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

Variation: Swap potstickers with shrimp or veggie wontons, or add a splash of chili oil for heat. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and replace fish sauce with extra soy sauce.
Storage: Chill leftovers within 2 hours. The dumplings soften as they sit, so reheat gently or cook dumplings fresh in the reheated broth.
