Baked Dumplings

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

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. 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.
3. Add the red curry paste, soy sauce alternative, minced garlic, and salt to the baking dish. Stir with a whisk until well combined.
4. Add your prepared vegetables. (We recommend kale, mushrooms, and red peppers).
5. Place the frozen vegetable dumplings on top of the sauce and veggies.
6. Spoon a little of the sauce over the top of the dumplings.
7. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
8. 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.
