Ingredients
Scale
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 Tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Dumplings and Garnishes
- 1 bag (16 ounces) refrigerated or frozen dumplings (use your favorite kind)
- Sliced green onion, for garnish
- Chili oil crunch, for garnish
- Cilantro, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking your dumplings and sauce together.
- Prepare The Sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ground ginger until fully combined to create a flavorful base.
- Arrange Dumplings: Evenly place the dumplings over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings to help them absorb the flavors while baking.
- Bake: Bake the dish uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, add a few extra minutes to baking time to ensure they are cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking dish carefully from the oven. Top the baked dumplings with sliced green onions, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your easy one-pan meal.
Notes
- You can use either refrigerated or frozen dumplings; adjust baking time accordingly for frozen varieties.
- For extra heat, add more red curry paste or drizzle additional chili oil crunch just before serving.
- This recipe is highly adaptable—try different dumpling fillings like pork, chicken, or vegetable to suit your preference.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, bake a few extra minutes uncovered to reduce the liquid slightly.
