Description
Tender vegetable dumplings baked in a creamy red curry coconut sauce, then finished with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds for an easy, flavor-packed dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 package (20 ounces) frozen vegetable dumplings
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large oven-safe skillet or a 9×13-inch baking dish if needed.
- In a small saucepan, heat the neutral oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, and lime juice until smooth.
- Pour about one-third of the curry sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Arrange the frozen vegetable dumplings in a snug single layer over the sauce.
- Pour the remaining curry sauce evenly over the dumplings, making sure they are well coated while the tops still peek through slightly.
- Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the dumplings are heated through, the sauce is bubbling, and the tops have picked up a little color around the edges.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then top with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Keep the dumplings frozen until baking for the best texture.
- If your curry paste is very spicy, start with 2 tablespoons and adjust next time.
- Add a splash of broth or coconut milk when reheating if the sauce thickens too much.
- Fresh basil can be used instead of cilantro if preferred.
