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: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dumplings.
- Prepare the sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to create a smooth sauce base.
- Arrange the dumplings: Evenly place the dumplings on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some additional sauce over the dumplings to keep them moist during cooking.
- Bake the dumplings: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings develop a golden color and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, extend the baking time by a few minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm immediately and enjoy your flavorful one-pan meal.
Notes
- If using frozen dumplings, consider adding an extra 5 minutes of baking time to ensure they cook through properly.
- You can adjust the amount of red curry paste to make the sauce milder or spicier according to your preference.
- For a gluten-free version, choose gluten-free dumplings and soy sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
