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 evenly.
- Prepare 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 thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated to form a smooth and fragrant curry sauce.
- Arrange Dumplings: Place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings evenly distributed over the surface of the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the tops of the dumplings to ensure they absorb flavor during baking.
- Bake Dumplings: Bake the dish uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the dumplings are golden and the sauce is bubbly. If using frozen dumplings, you may need to extend the baking time by a few minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
- Add Garnishes: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle the dumplings with sliced green onion, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds for added flavor, texture, and color.
- Serve Warm: Serve the dumplings warm with plenty of the delicious curry sauce spooned over, and enjoy this effortless and vibrant meal!
Notes
- If using frozen dumplings, extend baking time slightly to ensure they cook through.
- You can adjust the amount of red curry paste based on your preferred spice level.
- Chili oil crunch can be substituted with chili flakes or hot sauce for a different heat profile.
- For a gluten-free version, make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce and dumplings.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
