- 3-4 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sriracha (less if you want less spicy!)
- 3/4-1 cup of vegetable broth
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
1. Start to make your dumpling mixture by shredded your carrots, garlic + ginger. Mince your mushrooms + mix in a bowl with sesame oil, soy sauce olive oil, white pepper, chili flakes, sesame seeds + salt & pepper to taste.
2. Make your dumplings by forming them in your favourite shape (you can do a triangle shape by just folding over or pleating the dumplings. You can do this by stuffing the dumpling, taking both sides together and slowly pleating the sides, folding over with both fingers to create each pleat).
3. Once all your dumplings are formed, toast the bottoms of the dumplings in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. In the meantime, make your broth by mixing your coconut milk, sriracha, vegetable broth, red chili flakes, sesame seeds, sesame oil + soy sauce in a saucepan until all the flavours are absorbed and it becomes a creamy broth.
4. Plate your dumplings + spoon over the broth, top with sesame seeds + green onions, serve + enjoy!

This is so simple to make and so full of flavour from the gently poached chicken, however you can make it vegetarian. Sweet potato noodles are a great vegetable substitute for actual noodles. They’re filling and can be eaten just blanched to al dente or use zoodles or your favourite noodles as well if you’re feeling particularly hungry. Serves 2
Ingredients
4 small sweet potatoes or 2 medium, peeled
1 chicken breast
½ stalk lemon grass, roughly chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, roughly chopped
1 inch piece of galangal, goughly chopped
2 birds eye chillies, roughly chopped
2 x coriander root, well washed
the white ends of 2 spring onions
400mls coconut milk,
400mls chicken stock
1 x baby bok choy, leaves separated and well washed
1 cup snow peas
1 cup kale, roughly chopped
Garnish
1 birdseye chilli, finely sliced
1/3 cup coriander leaves
2x spring onion, green part only finely slices
Start by infusing your broth: add ginger, galangal, chilli, coriander root, and the spring onion ends to a pot along with the coconut milk and stock. Bring to a boil then simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Cut the chicken breast in half and then add to the pot. Simmer for 7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes then slice into 1cm thick slices. Strain the broth and then pour back into the pot.
Meanwhile make your sweet potato noodles using a spiraliser, alternatively you could make ribbon style noodles using a vegetable peeler. add the noodles and cook briefly for 3 minutes. Remove and place in the bottom of two bowls. Add the vegetables to the broth and simmer gently for 2 minutes.. Remove and place on top of the noodles along with your sliced chicken. Pour the broth into the bowls and scatter with chilli, spring onion and coriander.
