An incredibly easy, one-pan baked dinner that transforms frozen vegetable dumplings into a flavorful feast with a rich red curry coconut sauce and tender veggies. Perfect for busy weeknights or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients
- 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or alternative (like tamari or coconut aminos)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup red pepper (diced)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms (สไced)
- 2 cups kale (chopped small)
- 1 (16 oz) package vegetable dumplings
- 1 tablespoon cilantro
- 1 tablespoon green onions
- 1 tablespoon crunchy chili onion oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Pour the can of coconut milk into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Then, add the 3/4 cup of hot water to the can and pour it into the dish to get all the coconut milk out of the can.
- Add the red curry paste, soy sauce alternative, minced garlic, and salt to the baking dish. Stir with a whisk until well combined.
- Add your prepared vegetables. (We recommend kale, mushrooms, and red peppers).
- Place the frozen vegetable dumplings on top of the sauce and veggies.
- Spoon a little of the sauce over the top of the dumplings.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
- Garnish with crunchy chili onion oil (if using), fresh cilantro, and/or fresh green onions. Serve hot in a bowl by themselves or over rice or rice noodles.
Notes
- Dumpling Varieties: Use any plant-based dumpling or potsticker. Check labels if avoiding certain ingredients.
- Vegetable Flexibility: Swap kale for spinach (add in last 5 minutes), use broccoli, snap peas, or carrots.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red curry paste to your preference. Start with 1 tablespoon for milder taste.
- Sauce Thickness: For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and whisk it into the sauce before adding the dumplings.
- No-Bake Method: This can be cooked in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Combine sauce ingredients and veggies, bring to a simmer, add dumplings, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes.
