Don't let the amount of ingredients put you off making this dish, most of the ingredients are in the cupboards of keen foodies anyway and the whole dish can be prepared in 20-25 minutes.
Heat the cooking oil in a large heavy based pot very gently then add onions, ginger, bean sprouts and red curry paste. Sweat the vegetables in the oil for around 5 minutes on a very low heat then add the stock, white wine and coconut cream. Stir to incorporate the red curry paste then bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the button mushrooms, sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil, sugar and salt. When the soup has returned to a simmer using moist fingers roll the dumpling mix into teaspoon sized balls and drop into the soup. Make sure you are careful not to splash yourself; you can use a spoon to drop in the dumplings.
Simmer the soup for 10 more minutes so that the dumplings are cooked through then serve piping hot with chopped fresh coriander or basil and a splash of sesame oil.
