Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 Thai red chilies, sliced (adjust based on spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges for serving
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 package (about 30) wonton wrappers
  • Water, for sealing the dumplings

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent. Avoid browning the onions, as you want a sweet flavor base.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. You should smell a warm, inviting aroma.
  4. Toss in the sliced Thai chilies and red curry paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning, until the mixture is well combined and vibrant.
  5. Add the can of coconut milk, stirring until completely blended. You’ll notice a beautiful creamy texture forming.
  6. Slowly pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, mixing thoroughly. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and salt to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  8. In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, sliced green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. This mixture should be thick and flavorful.
  9. Place a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
  10. Gently drop the dumplings into the simmering soup and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float and are opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
  11. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the beautiful colors and aromas before diving in!
