In large saucepot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot and onion; cook 5 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add curry paste, garlic and ginger purée; cook 1 minute or until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Stir in broth and coconut milk; heat to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 15 minutes. Add dumplings; cook 4 minutes, carefully stirring occasionally. Add bok choy and lime juice; cook 2 minutes or until bok choy is wilted and dumplings are heated through and internal temperature of dumplings reaches 165°, gently stirring occasionally. Makes about 10 cups soup.
To cook dumplings in a skillet for a crunchy texture, place dumplings, flat side down, in large covered skillet. Add 2/3 cup water and 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil and heat to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and bottom of dumplings are crisp, and internal temperature reaches 165°. Add the dumplings to the soup mixture at the end of step 1.
