Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 tbsp chili oil
- ½ spring onion, thinly sliced (whiter end)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 20 g ginger, finely grated
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Gyozas
- 5 vegetable gyozas (£3.50 for 20, use 5 pieces)
- ½ – 1 bulb pak choi, sliced into chunks (£1.00 for 1 bulb pack)
- ½ courgette, spiralised (£1.00)
- 1½ spring onions, thinly sliced (reserve the whiter end for cooking and the greener parts for garnish) (£0.40 for 2 spring onions)
Instructions
- Heat chili oil and spring onion: Place the chili oil in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Add half of the thinly sliced spring onion, focusing on the whiter end, and season lightly with salt. Fry gently for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Add garlic and ginger: Add the minced garlic and finely grated ginger to the pan. Fry together for about one minute to release their aromas without burning.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the vegetable gyozas, sliced pak choi, spiralised courgette, vegetable stock, and soy sauce into the saucepan. Stir everything gently to combine well.
- Simmer the soup: Cover the pan with a lid and let the soup simmer gently for about 7 minutes, allowing the gyozas to cook through and the flavors to meld.
- Serve & garnish: Once cooked, ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with the remaining sliced spring onions and a pinch of chili flakes for added heat. Enjoy your warming Gyoza Soup!
Notes
- Adjust the chili oil and chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- You can substitute vegetable gyozas with chicken or pork gyozas if desired.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure soy sauce is gluten-free or use tamari.
- If pak choi is unavailable, substitute with bok choy or spinach.
- Spiralised courgette adds texture but can be replaced with sliced carrots or mushrooms.
