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 (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 dish.
- 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 everything together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Arrange Dumplings: Evenly place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings over the curry sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings to keep them moist.
- Bake: Bake the dumplings uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, extend the baking time by a few minutes as needed to ensure they are cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Top the baked dumplings with sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful one-pan meal.
Notes
- Using frozen dumplings may require additional baking time to ensure they are thoroughly cooked.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red curry paste to make the sauce milder or spicier according to your preference.
- If you prefer, substitute low-sodium soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Chili oil crunch adds a spicy crunch but can be omitted for less heat.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
