# Steps:

02 - Incorporate the chopped cremini mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
03 - Stir in the red Thai curry paste, sugar, and soy sauce. Sauté briefly to intensify flavours.
04 - Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
05 - Add the coconut milk to the pot, mixing well. Allow the soup to return to a simmer.
06 - Gently place the frozen vegan dumplings into the simmering soup. Cook for 7 minutes on medium-low heat until the dumplings are thoroughly heated.
07 - Ladle the soup and dumplings into bowls. Garnish each serving with chili oil, sliced scallion greens, crispy garlic, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
