1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk

1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt to taste

Instructions
1. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent (about 4 minutes).
2. Add garlic and ginger; cook another 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
3. Stir in red curry paste and turmeric, cooking for 1 minute to release flavors.
4. Add coconut milk, broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
5. Let simmer for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
6. Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste. Blend for a smoother texture if desired.
7. Gently add dumplings into the broth and cook 5–7 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
8. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with green onions, cilantro, chili oil, and peanuts. Serve hot.
Notes
Use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy consistency.
Don’t overcrowd the pot when cooking dumplings to avoid sticking or breaking.
Taste and adjust seasoning — the balance of spice, acid, and salt is key.
