Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For the Dumplings and Garnish
- 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: Set your oven to 375 degrees F to prepare for baking the dumplings.
- Make the Sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Whisk the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully blended into a smooth sauce.
- 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 ensure flavor is infused throughout the baking process.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, uncovered, and 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 increase the baking time by a few minutes to ensure they are heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Garnish with sliced green onions, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy the flavorful combination.
Notes
- You can use either refrigerated or frozen dumplings based on preference; adjust baking time accordingly for frozen dumplings.
- For added spice, increase the amount of red curry paste or top with extra chili oil crunch.
- Feel free to substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version.
- This dish is best enjoyed right out of the oven for optimal texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
