Notes
For extra flavor, you can lightly brown the potstickers in a separate pan with a little oil before adding them to the soup. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or bok choy for more variety. Adjust the amount of red curry paste to your preferred spice level. A squeeze of extra lime juice at the end brightens up all the flavors.
