Emily English’s Thai red coconut gyoza soup
Emily English’s fragrant Thai coconut soup is packed with veggies and filling gyoza. Try it for a speedy lunch or supper.
- Why it’s so good: “This quick, aromatic lunch is filling yet light and will help you avoid the afternoon slump,” says Emily. “Add your vegetables and gyoza to the coconut soup base and simmer until cooked.”
- Quick and versatile:” You can use whatever vegetables you have at home, and it’s ready in less than 20 minutes.” Using your favourite gyoza means you can add an extra protein boost. We like prawn or chicken.
- Scale it up: You can easily double or quadruple the amounts to serve more people. Just use your largest saucepan.
