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
- 1 bag (16 ounces) refrigerated or frozen dumplings (use your favorite kind)
Garnishes
- Sliced green onion
- Chili oil crunch
- Cilantro
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dumplings evenly and ensure the sauce bubbles nicely.
- Prepare 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 everything together until smooth and well blended.
- Arrange Dumplings: Evenly place the dumplings over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the tops of the dumplings to keep them moist and flavorful during baking.
- Bake Dumplings: Place the baking dish uncovered into the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, you may need to bake a few extra minutes to ensure they’re cooked through.
- Add Garnishes: Carefully remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the dumplings with sliced green onions, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds to add brightness, heat, and texture.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy this easy, one-pan flavorful meal perfect for a quick dinner or entertaining guests.
