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 & 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: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dumplings and sauce.
- 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 the ingredients thoroughly until well mixed.
- Arrange the dumplings: Place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings evenly over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some sauce over the dumplings to coat them slightly.
- Bake the dumplings: Place the baking dish uncovered in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings turn golden and the sauce bubbles. If you use frozen dumplings, extend the baking time by a few minutes as needed to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds over the top. Serve the dumplings warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any type of dumplings you prefer, whether pork, chicken, vegetable, or shrimp.
- If using frozen dumplings, allow extra baking time for thorough cooking.
- Chili oil crunch adds a spicy, crunchy texture—adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
- The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated to deepen flavors before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
