Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- 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 Garnish
- 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dumplings evenly and cooking the sauce to a bubbly consistency.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and ground ginger. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and well blended.
- Arrange the Dumplings: Place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings evenly over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings to infuse them with flavor while baking.
- Bake the Dumplings: Bake the dumplings uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. If you are using frozen dumplings, you may need to extend the baking time by a few minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Top the dumplings with sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful one-pan meal!
