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 and Garnishes
- 1 bag (16 ounces) refrigerated or frozen dumplings (use your favorite kind)
- Sliced green onion, for garnish
- Chili oil crunch, for garnish
- Cilantro, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dumplings evenly and cooking the sauce thoroughly.
- 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 these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a flavorful base for the dumplings.
- Arrange the Dumplings: Place the refrigerated or frozen dumplings evenly over the sauce in a single layer. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings to ensure they absorb the flavors and stay moist during baking.
- Bake: Bake the dumplings uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The dumplings should turn golden brown, and the sauce will bubble, indicating they are cooked through. If using frozen dumplings, extend the baking time by a few minutes to guarantee thorough heating.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking dish carefully from the oven. Top the dumplings with sliced green onions, chili oil crunch, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds for added flavor, texture, and a beautiful presentation. Serve warm and enjoy this easy, delicious meal!
Notes
- You can use either refrigerated or frozen dumplings depending on your preference; adjust baking time accordingly.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add more red curry paste or chili oil crunch to taste.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the dumplings used do not contain meat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain texture.
- Feel free to substitute low-sodium soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version.
