These viral one-pan baked dumplings nestle frozen dumplings and crisp bok choy in a creamy, spicy coconut-red-curry sauce. Bake everything together until hot and tender, then finish with chili crisp, green onions, and cilantro for an easy, flavor-packed meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Dumplings and Sauce

  • 14 ounces coconut milk
  • 2–3 tablespoons red curry paste, to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 large bok choy, chopped
  • 12 frozen dumplings

For Serving

  • 2 green onions, green parts only, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and baking dish.

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 11-by-7-inch baking dish.

  2. Mix the sauce.

    Pour the coconut milk into the prepared dish. Add the red curry paste, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil, then stir until the curry paste is evenly incorporated.

  3. Add the bok choy.

    Stir the chopped bok choy into the coconut curry mixture, spreading it evenly across the dish.

  4. Nestle in the dumplings.

    Arrange the frozen dumplings on top of the bok choy, nestling them into the sauce so they sit partly in the liquid. Spoon a little sauce over each dumpling.

  5. Bake covered.

    Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the dumplings are heated through and cooked according to their package directions.

  6. Garnish and serve.

    Carefully remove the foil. Top with chili crisp, chopped green onions, and cilantro, then serve hot with the sauce and bok choy.

Notes

  • Red curry pastes vary in heat and saltiness. Start with 2 tablespoons, then use more if you prefer a bolder, spicier sauce.
  • Dumpling size and brand affect cooking time. Check the package directions and make sure the dumplings are hot all the way through before serving.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest sauce. Shake or stir the can well before measuring.
  • Chili crisp adds heat, texture, and oil; adjust the amount to taste or serve it at the table.
  • Nutrition is an estimate and will vary with the dumpling brand, coconut milk, curry paste, and chili crisp used.
