Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 tablespoon chilli oil
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 20 g fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Gyozas
- 5 vegetable gyozas
- ½ to 1 bulb pak choi, sliced
- ½ courgette, spiralised
- Green parts of spring onions, for garnish
- Chilli flakes, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the chilli oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the white parts of the spring onions with a pinch of salt and cook gently for 2 minutes to soften and bring out their flavor.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned to preserve the fresh flavors.
- Add Liquids and Main Ingredients: Pour in the vegetable stock and soy sauce, then add the vegetable gyozas, sliced pak choi, and spiralised courgette to the pot.
- Simmer: Stir the ingredients to combine, then cover the saucepan and allow the soup to simmer gently for 7 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the gyozas cook through.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with the green parts of the spring onions and a sprinkle of chilli flakes for an extra kick, if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of pak choi according to your preference for a lighter or more vegetable-heavy soup.
- Chilli oil adds both flavor and heat; use less or omit if you prefer a milder dish.
- Vegetable gyozas can be found in most supermarkets or Asian grocery stores; alternatives include any vegetable dumplings.
- This soup is best served immediately for the freshest texture, especially of the spiralised courgette.
- For a protein boost, consider adding tofu or boiled egg on the side.
