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
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.
Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and finely grated ginger. Fry for about one minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
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.
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.
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.
