FAQs

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Yes, frozen peas or corn work great here. Just add them with the potstickers. They will heat through perfectly in the broth.

Is this soup very spicy?

It has a mild to medium heat level. The coconut milk balances the red curry paste. You can always add less paste if needed.

Can I freeze this soup?

I do not recommend freezing the finished soup. The dumplings will lose their texture when thawed. It is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated.
