Soup Ingredients
- 5 vegetable gyozas
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
- ½ to 1 bulb pak choi, sliced
- 20 g fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ courgette, spiralised
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chilli oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat chilli oil and cook white spring onion: Add the chilli oil to a saucepan set over low heat. Add the white parts of the sliced spring onions with a pinch of salt, and cook gently for 2 minutes to release their flavor.
- Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute to develop the aromatic base of the soup.
- Add liquids and main ingredients: Pour in the vegetable stock and soy sauce, then add the vegetable gyozas, sliced pak choi, and spiralised courgette. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer the soup: Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the soup simmer on low heat for 7 minutes, allowing the gyozas to cook through and the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Season and serve: Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with the green parts of the spring onions and, optionally, a sprinkle of chilli flakes for extra heat.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of pak choi based on your preference or availability.
- For a less spicy version, reduce or omit the chilli oil and chilli flakes.
- Vegetable gyozas can be substituted with chicken or pork gyozas if preferred, but this will change the dietary profile.
- This recipe serves one but can easily be scaled up for more servings.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or noodles to make it a fuller meal.
