1/2 teaspoon ginger paste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Soup:

1 can (400ml) coconut milk

1 tablespoon fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian option)

Instructions

Prepare the Dumpling Dough:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and turmeric powder.

      - Gradually stir in the boiling water, mixing until a dough forms.

        - Add the vegetable oil and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

          Make the Filling:

            - In a sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add the ginger paste. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

              - Stir in the chopped mixed vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

                - Add the curry powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. If using, fold in the shredded chicken and cook until heated through. Set aside to cool.

                  Shape the Dumplings:

                    - Roll the rested dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out circles.

                      - Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

                        Prepare the Soup:

                          - In a large pot, combine the broth, coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

                            - Gently add the prepared dumplings to the soup. Let them cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

                              Serve:

                                - Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

                                  - Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro, and enjoy hot!
