Red Curry Wonton Soup
It’s rare to find Southeast Asians who don’t enjoy soup – be it clear, spicy, savoury and sour, or even creamy. We love them all! In this recipe, Phillip Tang combines two quintessential Southeast Asian ingredients — red curry and wonton soup, marrying the spicy, creamy richness of Malaysian red curry with the comforting familiarity of wonton soup.
It’s an easy recipe to follow, and perfect for a spicy, comforting solo meal, but also equally straightforward and nourishing if you’re hosting a dinner party with friends. Nobody can deny a serving of soupy wontons!

SERVES
TIME

15 Mins
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup water
- 1 Homiah Malaysian Red Curry kit (there are 2 kits per pouch)
- ¾ cup of coconut milk
- 15-20 wontons
- ¼ cup sliced onion
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup fried shallots, to garnish
- 1 lime wedge, to garnish
METHOD
- Start by pouring the water into a medium pot, and bring it to a boil. Add in the Homiah Malaysian Red Curry kit along with the coconut milk, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a separate pot of boiling water, cook the wontons for 2–3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. When cooked, remove the wontons from the water and set aside.
- Divide cooked wontons into separate bowls, then pour the red curry into it. Garnish with sliced onions, coriander, fried shallots and a lime wedge. For an extra spice kick, drizzle a teaspoon of Homiah’s Sambal Chili Crunch on top before serving.
