Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5 vegetable gyozas (£3.50 for 20)
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced (£0.40)
- ½ – 1 bulb pack choi, sliced into chunks (£1.00)
- 20 g ginger, finely grated (£0.50)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (£0.23)
- ½ courgette, spiralised (£1.00)
Cupboard Essentials
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chilli oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat chilli oil and spring onions: Start by adding the chilli oil into a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Add half of the spring onions (the white ends) and season lightly with salt. Fry gently for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Add garlic and ginger: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and fry for about a minute, stirring frequently to release their aromas without burning.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the vegetable gyozas, sliced pak choi, spiralised courgette, vegetable stock, and soy sauce to the saucepan. Stir everything together to combine the flavors.
- Simmer soup: Cover the pan with a lid and let the soup simmer gently for around 7 minutes. This will cook the gyozas through and soften the vegetables.
- Serve: Once cooked, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining spring onions and a sprinkle of chilli flakes if desired. Enjoy your warming gyoza soup!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of pak choi according to your preference; ½ bulb is enough for fewer servings.
- If you like your soup spicier, add extra chilli oil or fresh chilli flakes at serving.
- Vegetable stock can be substituted with chicken stock if preferred.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and gyozas.
- Spiralising the courgette adds a fun texture but you can also thinly slice or dice it.
