Ingredients

For the Dumplings

1 Frozen Soup Dumplings The star of this dish, these dumplings cook directly from frozen for ultimate convenience.

For the Curry Sauce

1 tablespoon Oil Helps sauté the curry paste and blossom its full flavor.
1 tablespoon Red Curry Paste Adds a bold, spicy character; consider using green curry paste for a different experience.
1 cup Chicken Stock Serves as the flavorful base for the sauce, but swap with vegetable stock for a vegetarian twist.
⅓ cup Coconut Milk Ensures a creamy consistency; almond milk is a lighter, non-dairy alternative.
1 teaspoon Fish Sauce Elevates umami flavor; soy sauce makes a great vegetarian substitute.
1 teaspoon Sugar Balances the flavors beautifully; honey or maple syrup can be used here too.
2 leaves Kaffir Lime Leaves Imbues a bright citrus note; use lime zest in a pinch if you can't find these.
Thai Basil Leaves Adds a fragrant finish to the dish; sweet basil can be used as a substitute if necessary.

Cooking Instructions

In a medium pot, pour in 1 tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers, usually about 1-2 minutes.
Once the oil is hot, add 1 tablespoon of red curry paste to the pot and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock, stirring gently to dissolve the curry paste completely and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Gently mix in ⅓ cup of coconut milk along with 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 2 kaffir lime leaves.
Carefully add your frozen soup dumplings to the pot, ensuring they have space to cook evenly without crowding.
Cover the pot tightly and lower the heat to medium-low. Allow the dumplings to cook undisturbed for about 12 minutes.
After cooking, turn off the heat and carefully toss in a handful of Thai basil leaves and stir gently.
Ladle the soup dumplings into warm bowls and garnish with additional Thai basil if desired.
