Ingredients
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 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 these ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth and flavorful sauce base.
- Arrange Dumplings: Evenly place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings over the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings to ensure they are well-coated and flavorful during baking.
- Bake Dumplings: Bake the dumplings uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings turn golden and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, extend the baking time a few additional minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle the dumplings with sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve the dish warm and enjoy the harmonious blend of spicy, creamy, and savory flavors.
Notes
- You can use either refrigerated or frozen dumplings; just adjust baking time accordingly.
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red curry paste or add extra chili oil crunch on top.
- Make sure to use a heat-safe 9×13-inch baking dish for even cooking.
- The sauce can be customized by substituting low-sodium soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
