Ingredients
Scale
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Soyaki
- 3/4 bottle Thai-style red curry sauce (prepared simmer sauce, not red curry paste)
- 1 cup coconut milk (not sweetened coconut cream, such as Coco Lopez)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
Main Ingredients
- 20 frozen potstickers of choice
Garnish
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Green onions, thinly sliced
- A spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dumplings.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Soyaki, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water until well combined to create the flavorful red curry-coconut sauce.
- Arrange Dumplings: Place about 20 frozen potstickers evenly in a baking dish, ensuring they are laid out in a single layer for even cooking.
- Pour Sauce: Evenly pour the prepared red curry-coconut sauce over the arranged potstickers in the baking dish.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil to keep moisture in and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook through and soak up the sauce flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the foil and garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, and a spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp before serving for added freshness and spice.
Notes
- Use frozen potstickers directly from the freezer without thawing to ensure proper cooking time and texture.
- The Thai-style red curry sauce used should be a prepared simmer sauce, not a paste, to achieve the correct consistency.
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp or crunchy chili onion based on your desired spice level.
- If you prefer a richer sauce, use full-fat coconut milk rather than light versions.
- Covering the dish with foil helps steam the dumplings and keeps them moist during baking.
