Ingredients

1 tbsp curry paste (red, green, or yellow)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp tahini
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp hot oil (chili oil or neutral oil)
150 g noodles (ramen, udon, soba, or cellophane)
2 heads bok choy, chopped
810 gyoza dumplings
Reserved noodle cooking water
30 g scallions, sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp chili oil or chili crisp
Lime wedges
Nori (seaweed sheets)

Instructions

Prepare the Flavor Base: In a large heatproof bowl, combine curry paste, garlic, ginger, parsley, tahini, and soy sauce.
Heat the oil until shimmering, then carefully pour it over the mixture. Stir until smooth and fragrant.
Cook Noodles & Bok Choy: Boil noodles according to package instructions. Add bok choy during the last 2 minutes to blanch. Remove and reserve cooking water.
Cook Dumplings: In the same water (or a separate pot), cook gyoza for 5–7 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain.
Make the Broth: Gradually whisk reserved noodle water into the flavor base until a rich broth forms. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble: Divide noodles, bok choy, and dumplings into bowls. Pour broth over the top.
Garnish & Serve: Top with scallions, sesame seeds, chili oil, and optional nori. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Adjust spice level by choosing a mild or spicy curry paste.
Use vegetable broth instead of noodle water for a deeper flavor.
Frozen dumplings work perfectly—no need to thaw.
Add mushrooms or tofu for extra texture and protein.
