Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 14–20 Frozen Dumplings
  • 3 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil (or oil of choice)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can Coconut Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger (minced)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey (or real maple syrup)

Garnish

  • Cilantro
  • 2 Green Onions (sliced)
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Chili Crunch
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Baby Spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium baking dish or an ovenproof skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, fresh minced ginger, and minced garlic. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for brightness, or red curry paste for additional spice.
  3. Arrange Dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. This ensures they cook evenly and absorb the sauce properly.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared coconut curry sauce evenly over the dumplings, making sure most dumplings are mostly covered with liquid to cook thoroughly and infuse flavor.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This initial covered baking helps cook the dumplings through by steaming them gently.
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes uncovered, until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings have a tender texture. This step allows excess liquid to reduce slightly and intensifies the flavor.
  7. Add Spinach (Optional) and Garnish: If using baby spinach, immediately top the hot dumplings with fresh spinach leaves so they wilt slightly from the residual heat. Then garnish generously with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crunch to add freshness, crunch, and a spicy kick.

Notes

  • Frozen dumplings can be any style—pork, chicken, vegetable, or shrimp—as preferred.
  • Minced fresh ginger and garlic add depth of flavor; however, ground ginger can be substituted if needed.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the spiciness of the dish.
  • Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Use a baking dish or ovenproof skillet that can hold the sauce to prevent spills in the oven.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
