Ingredients

Soup 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)
  • 500 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chilli oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat Chilli Oil and Spring Onions: Add the chilli oil to a medium sized saucepan over low heat. Add half of the spring onions (the white ends) to the pan and season with a pinch of salt. Fry gently for a couple of minutes until aromatic.
  2. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and finely grated ginger. Fry for about one minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the vegetable gyozas, pak choi, spiralised courgette, vegetable stock, and soy sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the soup simmer gently for around 7 minutes, ensuring the gyozas cook through and the vegetables soften.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining spring onions and optional chilli flakes for extra heat. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of chilli oil and soy sauce based on your preferred spice and salt levels.
  • Use vegetable stock for a vegetarian version or substitute with chicken stock for non-vegetarian.
  • Spiralised courgette adds texture but can be replaced with other vegetables like carrots or mushrooms.
  • Ensure the gyozas are cooked fully to avoid any raw filling.
  • The soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
