Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons of red or yellow curry paste
- 4 cups of broth (vegetable or chicken)
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- a handful of spinach
- 1 pound of cubed beef (or chicken or firm tofu)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- water (as needed)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of red or yellow curry paste and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 can of coconut milk and 4 cups of broth. Stir well to combine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add your chopped vegetables (like 1 bell pepper, 1 carrot, and a handful of spinach) to the pot. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- If using beef, add your cubed beef (about 1 pound) now. If using chicken or tofu, add it about 5 minutes later to prevent overcooking. Let it simmer until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water until a soft dough forms. Roll into small balls.
- Gently drop the dumpling balls into the simmering soup. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are cooked through.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lime juice. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!
