Main Ingredients
- 14–20 Frozen Dumplings
- 3 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 (14-ounce) can Coconut Milk
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, minced
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Honey (or real maple syrup)
Garnishes and Optional
- Cilantro, for garnish
- 2 Green Onions, sliced
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons Chili Crunch (chili crisp)
- Sesame Seeds, for garnish
- Baby Spinach (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and grease a medium baking dish or an ovenproof skillet thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference by adding more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for acidity, or curry paste for heat.
- Arrange Dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the curry sauce evenly over the top, making sure the dumplings are mostly submerged in the sauce.
- Bake Covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes to allow the dumplings to cook through and absorb the flavors from the sauce.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5–10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are tender and cooked through.
- Add Spinach and Garnish: If using baby spinach, immediately top the hot dumplings with fresh spinach so it wilts slightly from the heat. Then garnish generously with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crunch for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh minced ginger and garlic for maximum flavor.
- Adjust the amount of red curry paste according to your preferred spice level.
- Frozen dumplings do not need to be thawed before baking.
- Baby spinach is optional but adds a nice fresh touch and color.
- You can substitute chili crunch with any chili oil or sauce if desired.
- Make sure the baking dish is ovenproof especially if using a skillet for even cooking.
