Ingredients
  

Dumplings and Sauce
  • 14-20 pieces Frozen Dumplings Use your favorite 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 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Honey (or real maple syrup)
Toppings
  • Cilantro, fresh For garnish
  • Green Onions, sliced For garnish
  • 1-2 tablespoons Chili Crunch For extra heat
  • Sesame Seeds For garnish
  • Baby Spinach (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish or an ovenproof skillet to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium 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 flavors as needed.
Baking
  1. Place the frozen dumplings in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the curry sauce evenly over the dumplings.
  2. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are tender and slightly golden on the edges.
  4. If using baby spinach, scatter it on top of the hot dumplings so it wilts slightly.
Serving
  1. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crunch. Serve warm.
