Ingredients

Scale

Red Curry Broth

  • 1 can (13.5 fl oz / 400ml) coconut milk
  • 2–3 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust for 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

Dumpling Bake

  • 16–20 frozen dumplings of choice (vegetable dumplings recommended)
  • 2 bok choy bulbs, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced (or any vegetable of choice)
  • Garnish ideas: sesame seeds, sliced green onions, cilantro/coriander, chili crisp oil
  • To serve: cooked white jasmine rice or noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Curry Broth: In a large 12 x 8 inch (30 x 20 cm) baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil until smooth and no lumps of curry paste remain. Grate in the garlic and ginger and mix well. Optional: Add ¼ cup of water if you prefer a thinner broth, especially when serving with rice or noodles.
  2. Add Vegetables to the Broth: Chop the bok choy bulbs and slice the zucchini (or chosen vegetables). Add them to the curry broth in the baking dish and stir to ensure the veggies are evenly coated with the sauce.
  3. Arrange Dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings into the dish, spacing them so they don’t overlap. Gently press them down into the broth so the bottoms are submerged, but leave the tops exposed for crisping. Spoon some additional broth over the dumplings to coat their tops lightly.
  4. Bake Covered: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. This allows the dumplings to cook through in the flavorful broth.
  5. Finish Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the broth is bubbling nicely and the exposed tops of the dumplings develop a slight golden crisp.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle your choice of garnishes such as sesame seeds, sliced green onions, cilantro, or chili crisp oil. Serve immediately over a bed of white jasmine rice or noodles and enjoy your comforting, flavorful dumpling bake.

Notes

  • Use frozen dumplings that do not require boiling for best results; adjust bake time if dumplings require pre-cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Optional addition of ¼ cup water helps create a soupier broth ideal for serving with rice or noodles.
  • Vegetables can be substituted or supplemented with others like mushrooms, bell peppers, or snap peas for variety.
  • Make sure tops of dumplings remain exposed for crispiness; do not fully submerge them in broth.
