Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (12-16 dumplings) frozen pork dumplings (gyoza or potstickers)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola, avocado, or vegetable)
  • ½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk (full-fat for richness)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp light brown sugar
  • Juice of ½ lime

For Garnishes/To Serve

  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Chili oil (for drizzling)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Steamed jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Make the Red Curry Base: Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onion, shallot, and garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until translucent. Add ginger and sauté for another minute. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to meld the spices. Pour in coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Let simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust with lime juice and salt as needed.
  2. Assemble the Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the frozen dumplings evenly in a small baking dish, about 8×8 inches. You can use a larger dish if using more dumplings. Pour the hot curry sauce over the dumplings, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
  3. Bake: Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes until the dumplings are heated through and the edges start to turn golden and peek up from the sauce.
  4. Finish & Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil. Spoon the curry and dumplings over bowls of steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute pork dumplings with chicken or vegetable dumplings if preferred.
  • Full-fat coconut milk adds richness, but light coconut milk can be used for a lighter dish.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra crispiness, you can pan-fry the dumplings briefly before assembling the bake.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
