Ingredients

Sauce

• 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)

Garnish

• sliced green onion
• chili oil crunch/crisp

• sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

For The Sauce

Pour the coconut milk, red curry paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ground ginger into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Whisk to combine.

For The Dumplings

Place the dumplings evenly over the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce on top of the dumplings. Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes (if using frozen dumplings you may need to extend the baking time). Bake until golden and the sauce is bubbly.

Carefully remove from the oven and top with sliced green onion, chili crunch, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy!

Servings

Serves 4.

Storage and Reheating

These are best eaten the same day. If you have leftover dumplings, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day only. To reheat, warm in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes covered with foil, or microwave in a dish covered loosely in 30 second intervals until hot. For extra moisture, add a splash of leftover sauce.

Holly’s Tips For The Best Easy One-Pan Dumplings:

• Use Your Favorite Dumplings: Pork, chicken, shrimp, or veggie dumplings all work in this amazing dish.
• Evenly Distribute The Sauce: Whisk the coconut curry sauce thoroughly and spoon some over each dumpling to ensure they bake evenly and stay flavorful.
• Watch The Bake Time: Bake at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden and the sauce is bubbly; adjust cooking time depending on your oven or dumpling size. If using frozen dumplings, you may need to extend the baking time by a few minutes.
• Add Fresh Garnishes: Top the dumplings with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and chili crunch to enhance texture, add freshness, and boost flavor.
• Heat: Add more red curry paste or extra chili crunch for heat, or reduce the curry paste for a milder flavor.
