Recipe from Food Artist Leen van de Walle (Leen kookt)

Ingredients

For the dumplings in coconut broth:
  • 12 fresh or frozen dumplings (vegetable, shrimp, or chicken)

  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk

  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1–2 tsp crispy chili oil (adjust to spice preference)

  • 1 small clove garlic, finely grated

  • ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • Salt, to taste

  • Lime juice, to finish

Toppings and garnish:
  • Crispy Korean Seaweed Topping – a generous handful

  • Chopped spring onions

  • Toasted sesame seeds

  • Extra drizzle of chili oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth:
    In a medium pot, combine coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. Cook the dumplings:
    Add dumplings directly to the simmering coconut broth. Boil gently for 5–7 minutes (or according to package instructions) until tender and cooked through.

  3. Add flavor:
    Stir in crispy chili oil and adjust seasoning with salt or extra soy sauce to taste. Squeeze in a bit of lime juice for brightness.

  4. Assemble the bowl:
    Divide dumplings and coconut broth into serving bowls.

  5. Add the topping:
    Generously sprinkle Crispy Korean Seaweed Topping on top. Finish with spring onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil if you like it extra spicy.

  6. Serve & enjoy:
    A comforting, aromatic bowl of dumplings in silky coconut broth — made irresistible with the crunch and umami kick of our Crispy Korean Seaweed Topping.
