Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
  • Stir in ginger, garlic, and curry paste. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions. Simmer until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Slide in frozen dumplings. Simmer until cooked through and floating, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach and sesame oil. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Off heat, add lime juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Ladle into bowls and drizzle chili oil if you like heat.

Notes

Variation: Swap potstickers for shrimp or chicken mini wontons. Add snap peas for extra crunch. For a milder soup, use 2 tbsp curry paste. Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat gently and thin with broth if needed.
