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 (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 get it ready for baking the dumplings.
- Make the sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, pour the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and ground ginger. Whisk these ingredients together until fully combined to create a flavorful sauce base.
- Arrange the dumplings: Place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings evenly over the surface of the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some sauce over the tops of the dumplings to ensure they stay moist while baking.
- Bake the dumplings: Put the uncovered baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings turn golden and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, you might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure they cook through.
- Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Top the baked dumplings with sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, one-pan meal!
Notes
- If using frozen dumplings, extend the baking time slightly by 3-5 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red curry paste to your preferred spice level.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas to the sauce before baking for added nutrition and flavor.
