Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion of dumplings and broth.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a wedge of lime for a burst of freshness.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: This soup is hearty enough to be a meal on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or crispy fried spring rolls for an even more filling experience. For an added layer of flavor, top with a few fresh chili slices or a dash of sriracha for a spicy kick.
Storing: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dumplings may soften slightly after refrigeration, but the flavors will only intensify. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Variants:
Vegetarian Option: Swap out the ground chicken for mashed tofu, or use a mixture of mushrooms and vegetables for a savory, plant-based filling.
Spicy Red Curry: If you like your soup extra spicy, increase the amount of red curry paste or add some Thai bird’s eye chilies for a fiery heat.
Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free dumpling wrappers and ensure that your soy sauce is tamari or another gluten-free option.
FAQ:
Can I make the dumplings ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the dumplings in advance and freeze them. Just lay the dumplings in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, simply add them directly to the simmering broth.
Can I use a different type of curry paste? While this recipe specifically calls for Thai red curry paste, you can experiment with green or yellow curry paste depending on your taste preferences. Just keep in mind that each type has a slightly different flavor profile.
What kind of dumpling wrappers should I use? Store-bought dumpling wrappers are perfect for this recipe and can be found at most grocery stores in the Asian food aisle. If you prefer to make your own, use a simple dough made from flour, water, and salt.
Can I use meat other than chicken? Absolutely! Ground pork, beef, or shrimp all work well in this recipe. Simply substitute the ground chicken for your preferred protein and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
