This red curry wonton soup is a perfect recipe for an easy weeknight meal! A simple red curry base serves as the flavorful canvas for frozen wontons of your choice, keeping everything quick and easy for an effortless dinner.
To maximize the flavor in this recipe, ensuring that the red curry soup base is well seasoned will be crucial. Every part of the flavor spectrum is balanced out in this recipe, with acidity from lime juice, umami from fish sauce, sweetness from sugar, and an aromatic saltiness from Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce that imbues the broth with a rich fragrance. For an extra kick of complex heat, its recommended to also drizzle some Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil on top!
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Pour in the chicken stock and whisk until the curry paste is fully dissolved. Stir in the coconut milk, caster sugar, fish sauce, and Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
Add the wontons directly to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, about 3-5 minutes for fresh wontons and 5-7 minutes for frozen wontons: The wontons are ready when they float to the surface and are fully cooked through.
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional sugar, fish sauce, or lime juice if desired.
Divide the wontons and broth among serving bowls. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
