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
- 1 bag (16 ounces) refrigerated or frozen dumplings (use your favorite kind)
Garnish
- Sliced green onion
- Chili oil crunch
- Cilantro
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the dumplings in the curry sauce.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are fully blended to create a smooth, flavorful sauce base.
- Arrange Dumplings: Evenly place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce on top of the dumplings to coat them well, which helps them cook evenly and absorb the flavorful curry.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, uncovered. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, you may need to extend the baking time slightly by a few minutes to ensure they cook through.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Garnish the dumplings with sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro leaves, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy this fragrant and easy one-pan meal.
Notes
- If using frozen dumplings, increase baking time by approximately 5 minutes to ensure they are heated through and crispy.
- Adjust red curry paste amount according to your preferred spice level.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness and make the dish slightly healthier.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure dumplings are vegetable-based and the curry paste contains no fish sauce.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
