Lemongrass & Coconut Noodle Soup Topped with Gyozas

This is a recipe I’ve shared before, with just a few changes – this time adding vegan gyozas to bring together the most delicious noodle soup. It’s flavoured with lemongrass, ginger and garlic and chilli to make a delicious soup base then topped with fluffy wheat noodles and stuffed gyozas. You can skip our the very first step and just add the gyozas to the soup 5 minutes at the end, however they won’t have a crispy base.

What’s in the recipe?

Gyozas – I use pre-made gyozas in this recipe to save on cooking time. The brands I love are Yutaka and Itsu, hopefully both available in your local supermarkets.

Lemongrass- A key ingredient in this recipe to inject lots of flavour. Half the fresh stalk and don’t forget to take it out at the end before serving. You can use dried lemongrass too, I’d double up the portion to two stalks.

Noodles- I use Amoy Medium noodles for this dish as they’re a little thinner than udon but still fluffy.

Coconut Milk- I used a full fat tinned coconut milk but feel free to use a lighter one if preferred.

Chilli, Ginger and Garlic- These ingredients are key to make this dish have a delicious flavour. If you don’t like heat, taste test the chilli before adding that way you can be sure it won’t be too hot to handle.
