Description

This Dumpling Bake is a viral, flavorful one-pan meal that combines the richness of coconut milk and red curry paste with tender dumplings and fresh vegetables, baked to perfection in the oven. With its spicy, savory broth and a slightly crisp finish on the dumplings, it makes an easy, comforting dinner served best over jasmine rice or noodles.

Ingredients

Broth and Sauce

  • 1 can (13.5 fl oz / 400ml) coconut milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, grated
  • 1 small cube of ginger, grated

Main Ingredients

  • 16-20 dumplings of choice (frozen vegetable dumplings recommended)
  • 2 bok choy bulbs, chopped
  • 1 zucchini or any other vegetable of choice, sliced

Garnishes (optional)

  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions
  • Cilantro/coriander
  • Chilli crisp oil

Serving Suggestions

  • White jasmine rice or noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large 12 x 8 inch (30 x 20 cm) baking dish, pour in the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Whisk together thoroughly until the curry paste is fully incorporated with no lumps. Grate in the garlic and ginger and mix well. Optionally, add ¼ cup of water if you prefer a looser, broth-like consistency, especially when serving with rice or noodles.
  2. Add Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃). Chop the bok choy bulbs and slice the zucchini or chosen vegetables. Add these to the baking dish and stir so the vegetables are evenly coated and submerged in the flavorful broth mixture.
  3. Arrange Dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings in the dish, ensuring they are not overlapping and are slightly pressed into the broth. The tops of the dumplings should remain visible above the liquid. Spoon some broth over the dumplings to keep them moist. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture for even cooking.
  4. Bake: Bake covered for 20 minutes. After this, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes. This step allows the broth to bubble nicely and the tops of the dumplings to gain a slight crisp texture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with your choice of sesame seeds, sliced green onions, cilantro/coriander, and chili crisp oil for extra flavor and presentation. Serve the dumpling bake over a bed of white jasmine rice or noodles and enjoy your comforting, spicy meal.

Notes

  • You can customize the vegetables based on what you prefer or have available; other sturdy veggies like bell peppers or snap peas work well.
  • Adjust the red curry paste quantity depending on your tolerance for spice.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, omit the additional water; for soupier, add it as suggested.
  • Using frozen dumplings eliminates extra prep time and works perfectly for this bake.
  • This recipe can be adapted to gluten-free by using gluten-free dumplings and tamari instead of soy sauce.
