Main Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 fl oz / 400ml) coconut milk
- 2–3 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 large garlic clove, grated
- 1 small cube of ginger, grated
- 16–20 frozen veggie dumplings
- 2 bok choy bulbs, chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced (or any vegetable of choice)
Optional Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
- Cilantro/coriander
- Chili crisp oil
To Serve
- White jasmine rice or noodles
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a large 12 x 8 inch baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined. Grate in the garlic and ginger, stirring thoroughly to incorporate all flavors. For a thinner broth suitable for serving with rice or noodles, optionally add ¼ cup of water at this stage.
- Preheat oven and prepare vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃). Chop the bok choy and slice the zucchini, or your chosen vegetables. Add them to the baking dish, gently stirring to coat evenly with the curry broth.
- Arrange dumplings: Place the frozen veggie dumplings in a single layer in the baking dish without overlapping. Press each dumpling slightly into the broth, leaving the tops partially visible. Spoon some broth over the dumplings to infuse flavor during baking. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake covered: Bake the dish covered for 20 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook through and the flavors to meld together.
- Finish baking uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the broth bubbles vigorously and the tops of the dumplings develop a slight crisp texture for added contrast.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with optional sesame seeds, sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of chili crisp oil. Serve the dumpling bake hot over steamed jasmine rice or noodles to complete the meal. Enjoy your comforting and flavorful dish!
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red curry paste used.
- For a more brothy dish, add ¼ cup of water before baking.
- Frozen veggie dumplings are preferred for ease and consistent cooking; fresh dumplings can be used but may require timing adjustment.
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables based on your preferences or seasonal availability.
- Optional garnishes add freshness, texture, and an extra flavor boost.
