Spicy Gyoza & Coconut Noodle Soup

Keeping a packet of gyoza in the freezer makes soups like this remarkably easy. Laksa paste and coconut milk give you a broth with plenty of flavour, while the noodles and dumplings make it substantial enough for dinner.

Don't cook the vegetables to death. They are much better with a little crunch left in them, particularly against the soft noodles and gyoza.

Description

A quick coconut and laksa broth with chicken gyoza, udon noodles and crisp vegetables.

Ingredients

2 tsp vegetable oil
150 g mixed stir-fry vegetables (including onion and red cabbage)
90 g laksa paste
400 ml reduced-fat coconut milk
150 ml chicken stock
240 g chicken gyoza
300 g cooked udon noodles
1 small handful fresh coriander
lime wedges (optional, to serve)
crispy fried onions (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cabbage from the vegetable mixture and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
2
Add the laksa paste and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring so the aromatics become fragrant without catching.
3
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring gently to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, cook the gyoza and udon according to their packet instructions. Divide between two deep bowls.
5
Add the remaining vegetables to the broth and simmer for another 3–4 minutes, leaving them tender but with some bite.
6
Ladle the broth and vegetables over the noodles and gyoza. Finish with coriander and optional lime and crispy onions.
