  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

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

Garnishes & Optional

  • Cilantro, for garnish
  • 2 Green Onions, sliced
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Chili Crunch (chili crisp)
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Baby Spinach (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or an ovenproof skillet to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as desired — add more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for tanginess, or red curry paste for heat.
  3. Arrange Dumplings and Add Sauce: Place the frozen dumplings in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the prepared coconut curry sauce evenly over the dumplings, ensuring they are mostly covered by the sauce.
  4. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This allows the dumplings to cook through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  5. Bake Uncovered to Finish: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are tender and fully cooked.
  6. Add Spinach and Garnish: If using baby spinach, immediately top the hot dumplings with fresh spinach so it wilts slightly from the heat. Garnish generously with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crunch for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen dumplings directly from the freezer without thawing for best results.
  • Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red curry paste and chili crunch according to your preference.
  • Fresh ginger can be replaced with ½ teaspoon ground ginger if needed, though fresh offers better flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and ensure dumplings are vegan-friendly.
  • Serve with steamed rice or a simple salad for a complete meal.
