One-pan Baked Dumpling Dinner

• servings: 4

Ingredients

1 14-ounce can lite coconut milk

3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

3 garlic cloves minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons fish sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

3 cups spinach

14-20 frozen dumplings (based on your baking dish size)

¼ cup chopped cilantro for garnish

¼ cup sliced scallion greens for garnish

1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

1-2 tablespoons chili crisp for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F to get it ready while you prep.

Make the curry broth: In a 9x9 baking dish or 3.5-quart oven-safe braiser, add in the coconut milk, curry paste, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk to combine until smooth and the Thai red curry paste has dissolved into the coconut milk.

Add the spinach: Toss the spinach into the dish and stir so the leaves are fully coated and evenly distributed across the base.

Nestle the dumplings: Arrange the frozen dumplings pinched-side down in the baking dish. Spoon some of the liquid over the top of each dumpling.

Bake covered: Cover the dish tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the dumplings are tender and cooked through.

Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven. Finish with chili crisp, cilantro, scallions, and sesame seeds before serving.
