Ingredients
Dumplings
- 18-20 dumplings (fresh or frozen)
Sauce
- 1 cup full-fat coconut cream
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Garnishes
- Cilantro, for garnish
- Scallions, sliced, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chili oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dumplings.
- Warm Broth: Heat the broth in the microwave until hot; this step helps to dissolve the red curry paste more easily when mixing the sauce.
- Prepare Sauce: In a baking dish, whisk together the warm broth, full-fat coconut cream, red curry paste, soy sauce or tamari, honey, and lime juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dumplings: Place the frozen or fresh dumplings directly into the baking dish with sauce, ensuring they are coated by spooning some sauce over the top.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook through and absorb the flavorful sauce.
- Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the dumplings turn tender and develop a lightly golden exterior.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish the dumplings with fresh cilantro, sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and drizzle chili oil to add extra heat before serving warm.
Notes
- Using frozen dumplings directly from the freezer works well and saves time.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, opt for vegetable broth and dumplings without meat.
- Adjust the amount of red curry paste according to your spice tolerance.
- Covering the dish ensures the dumplings cook evenly and stay moist.
- Serve with steamed rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
