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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the dumplings evenly and developing a golden color.
- 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 until smooth and well incorporated to create a rich, flavorful base for the dumplings.
- Arrange the dumplings: Evenly place your refrigerated or frozen dumplings on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Then, spoon some of the sauce over the dumplings to keep them moist and infuse them with flavor while baking.
- Bake the dumplings: Place the uncovered baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings turn golden and the sauce is bubbling. If using frozen dumplings, you may need to extend the baking time by a few minutes to ensure they cook 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 for added texture and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious one-pan meal!
Notes
- If using frozen dumplings, add an extra 3-5 minutes to the baking time to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Feel free to swap out the dumplings for any variety you prefer, such as pork, chicken, or vegetarian options.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red curry paste or add extra chili oil crunch.
- This dish can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
