Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Juicy prawn dumplings swimming in a creamy, coconutty Thai green curry broth—this one’s as comforting as it is full of flavour. It’s fast, fuss-free, and totally satisfying. A warming, one-pot dinner that tastes like it took hours (but didn’t).

What is Green Curry Dumpling Soup?

This is a mash-up of two things I absolutely love: green curry and dumpling soup. I use my Marion’s Kitchen green curry paste for maximum flavour with zero stress, and throw in frozen prawn dumplings (har gow) for those little parcels of joy. It’s bold, fragrant, and weeknight friendly.

What Dumplings Can I Use?

Anything goes here—har gow, wontons, gyoza, Korean mandu… basically whatever dumplings you’ve got tucked away in your freezer. The broth is so full of flavour it works with any kind of filling, whether it’s pork, prawn, chicken or veggie. Use what you love.

Marion's Tips

Frozen dumplings are your best friend for fast dinners. Use har gow or any prawn variety you love. The broth is bold enough to handle it. And don’t skip the fish sauce—it balances the richness with that perfect salty depth.

Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables

Slice the broccolini stems lengthways to thin them out, so they cook quicker and more evenly. Cut the bok choy into quarters lengthways and rinse to remove any grit from the stems. Set aside for later.

Cook the Curry Base

Place a large pan or a wok over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and green curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the Broth

Pour in the coconut milk and 4 cups of water. Add the chicken stock cubes and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a gentle boil.

Cook the Dumplings and Vegetables

Bring a separate saucepan of water to the boil. Add the frozen dumplings and cook according to packet instructions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking time, add the broccolini and bok choy. Simmer for a further 2 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked and the greens are  just tender. Use tongs to transfer the vegetables to your serving bowls. Then use a slotted spoon to divide up the dumplings among the bowls.

Finish the Soup

Taste the green curry broth and add the fish sauce to season (add more or less to your liking).

Serve

Ladle the soup over the dumplings and vegetables in the bowls. Top with the fried shallots, coriander, chilli crisp oil and finely sliced kaffir lime leaves. Squeeze over the lime, if using, and serve.
