Main Ingredients
- 5 vegetable gyozas (£3.50 for 20)
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced (£0.40)
- ½ – 1 bulb pak choi, sliced into chunks (£1.00)
- 20 g ginger, finely grated (£0.50)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (£0.23)
- ½ courgette, spiralised (£1.00)
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chilli oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Prepare the base: Start by heating the chilli oil in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Add half of the spring onions, focusing on the white ends, and season lightly with salt. Fry gently for a couple of minutes to release their flavor.
- Add aromatics: Add the minced garlic and finely grated ginger to the pan. Stir and fry for about one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add main ingredients: Add the vegetable gyozas, sliced pak choi, spiralised courgette, vegetable stock, and soy sauce to the pan. Stir everything together to combine well.
- Simmer the soup: Cover the pan with a lid and let the soup simmer gently for around 7 minutes so the gyozas cook through and the vegetables soften slightly while keeping their texture.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of chilli flakes if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your warming gyoza soup!
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier soup, increase the amount of chilli oil or add fresh chopped chili.
- You can substitute vegetable gyozas with chicken or pork gyozas depending on your preference.
- Adjust soy sauce to taste for saltiness and depth of flavor.
- Use fresh vegetable stock for the best flavor, but store-bought is fine as well.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure soy sauce and gyozas are gluten-free or substitute with tamari.
