Can I use any type of frozen dumplings?

Yes! Potstickers, gyoza, wonton-style dumplings—use what you love. Just keep them frozen when they go into the dish.

Can I make these baked dumplings gluten-free?

You can! Use gluten-free dumplings and swap soy sauce for tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce.

What if I don’t have red curry paste?

Red curry paste gives that signature flavor, but if you’re in a pinch: Use yellow curry paste for a milder vibe Or stir in a little curry powder + chili flakes (not the same, but still tasty)

Can I use light coconut milk?

You can, but the sauce will be thinner and less rich. If you use light coconut milk, consider baking uncovered a bit longer to reduce the sauce.

How do I store leftovers?

Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days .

How do I reheat them?

Microwave: quick and easy (add a splash of water or coconut milk if needed) Oven: 350°F until warmed through, covered with foil so the sauce doesn’t dry out

Can I add protein or veggies?

Absolutely. Baby spinach is the easiest add-on, but you can also toss in: shredded carrots sliced bell peppers mushrooms cooked shredded chicken (hello, Chicken Magic moment)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Whisk sauce: In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Assemble: Place frozen dumplings in a single layer in the prepared dish. Pour sauce evenly over the top, covering most of the dumplings.
Bake covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Finish baking: Uncover and bake another 5–10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are tender.
Garnish: Top with baby spinach (optional), cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crunch. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Keep dumplings in a single layer for even cooking.

Adjust spice by increasing or decreasing the red curry paste.

For a thicker sauce, bake uncovered a few minutes longer.

Any frozen dumpling variety works—gyoza, potstickers, or wontons.

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or microwave
