Ingredients

Units Scale

For the soup gel:

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
  • 1 tsp fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin (or agar-agar for vegetarian option)

For the filling:

  • 1/2 lb (225g) ground chicken or tofu
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)
  • 1 tbsp scallions (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Thai basil or cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

For the wrappers:

  • 20–24 round dumpling wrappers (or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Make the soup gel: In a small saucepan, combine broth, curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, then whisk in the gelatin until fully dissolved. Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Once set, finely dice the gel into small cubes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix ground chicken (or tofu) with garlic, ginger, scallions, herbs, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Gently fold in about ½ cup of the diced soup gel. Keep chilled until ready to use.
  3. Assemble dumplings: Place a dumpling wrapper in your hand. Add 1 heaping teaspoon of filling to the center. Wet the edges with water, then pleat and pinch to seal the dumpling into a pouch. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Steam the dumplings: Place dumplings in a parchment-lined steamer basket, leaving space between each. Steam over boiling water for 8–10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Notes

  • Make sure the soup gel is cold when folding into the filling to keep it intact.
  • These are best enjoyed immediately after steaming to experience the burst of soup inside.
