Ingredients
Scale
Sauce and Aromatics
- 14 ounces Coconut milk
- 2 – 3 tablespoons Red curry paste
- 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 large Bok Choy (chopped)
- 2 Green onion (green part only, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Chili crisp
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
Main
- 12 Frozen dumplings
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and grease an 11×7 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Create sauce base: Pour the coconut milk into the prepared baking dish. Add the red curry paste, finely minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth sauce.
- Add bok choy: Incorporate the chopped bok choy into the coconut curry mixture, distributing it evenly throughout the dish.
- Arrange dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings on top of the bok choy, nestling them so they rest securely in the liquid. Spoon a little of the sauce over each dumpling to ensure they stay moist while baking.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook through and absorb the rich flavors.
- Add garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the foil and top the dumplings with chili crisp, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of red curry paste depending on your preferred spice level.
- Use frozen dumplings straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.
- Chili crisp adds a spicy crunch, but can be omitted or replaced with chili oil for a milder flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, ensure dumplings are vegetable-based and substitute soy sauce with tamari for gluten-free.
- Covering with foil during baking keeps dumplings soft and steams them gently.
