Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag frozen vegan dumplings (approx. 12–15 dumplings)
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 4 scallions, finely chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- chili oil (garnish)
- crispy garlic (garnish)
- cilantro (garnish)
Instructions
- Aromatic Base: Heat avocado oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low flame. Sauté onions, scallion whites, and garlic until they transform into a golden, fragrant foundation, releasing a rich, enticing aroma.
- Vegetable Integration: Incorporate chopped mushrooms, cooking until they release moisture and become perfectly tender, creating a robust base for the curry’s depth of flavor.
- Flavor Layering: Infuse the mixture with red Thai curry paste, soy sauce, and a hint of sugar. Whisk in vegetable broth and coconut milk, creating a smooth, harmonious liquid that simmers gently, developing a complex flavor profile.
- Dumpling Immersion: Delicately add frozen vegan dumplings to the simmering curry. Allow them to bathe in the liquid, occasionally shifting to prevent sticking, ensuring they heat thoroughly and absorb the curry’s rich essence.
- Final Flourish: Remove from heat and let the curry rest briefly, allowing flavors to meld and intensify. Garnish with scallion greens and serve piping hot, inviting diners to savor the intricate blend of textures and tastes.
Notes
- Sauté Secret: Caramelize onions and garlic slowly to develop deep, rich flavor foundations that elevate the entire curry’s taste profile.
- Mushroom Magic: Pat mushrooms dry before sautéing to ensure proper moisture release and achieve perfect golden-brown texture without steaming.
- Dumpling Placement: Gently add frozen dumplings to prevent breaking and stir minimally to maintain their delicate structural integrity during cooking.
- Flavor Fusion: Allow curry to rest briefly after cooking, enabling spices and ingredients to harmonize and create a more complex, integrated taste experience.
