Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (13.5 fl oz) full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- ½ lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup packed spinach
- 3 oz. mushrooms, sliced
- 18–20 frozen potstickers or gyozas
Garnish:
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Chili oil
- White rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, chicken broth, red curry paste, peanut butter, grated garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined.
- Add vegetables: Stir in the packed spinach and sliced mushrooms to evenly coat them with the sauce in the baking dish.
- Arrange dumplings: Place the frozen potstickers or gyozas in a single layer directly into the sauce, making sure they don’t overlap. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings to coat them well.
- Bake covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 27–32 minutes, or until the dumplings are heated through and tender.
- Crisp dumplings: Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the dumplings to develop a crispy top.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the dumplings, drizzle with chili oil, and serve hot with steamed white rice on the side.
Notes
- Make sure to place dumplings in a single layer without overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red curry paste or add more chili oil when serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and replace fish sauce with a vegetarian alternative.
- Using frozen potstickers helps save time; no need to thaw before baking.
