Baked Red Curry Dumplings

Written by on in Pork

I saw a variation of this dumpling recipe on Tik Tok and I had to make it, you can dump all of the ingredients into a casserole dish and call it a day. No fuss of steaming or pan frying! This curry dumpling bake is creamy, flavorful and ridiculously easy! Just whisk together your coconut curry sauce, drop in your frozen dumplings and let the oven do the work.

The base is a mix of red curry paste, coconut milk, tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a touch of honey for balance. As the dumplings bake, they soak up that rich, savory-sweet curry sauce, turning into little flavor bombs. Once it’s out of the oven, a drizzle of chili oil, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and some fresh green onion take it to the next level.

This dish is perfect for busy weeknights, lazy weekends, or anytime you need a comfort meal with bold flavors. The best part? It uses frozen dumplings, so there’s no need to make them from scratch. Dinner doesn’t get easier (or more delicious) than this.
