  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Sauce and Base

  • 14 oz coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Vegetables

  • 3 cups chopped bok choy

Main Protein

  • 25-30 frozen mini chicken dumplings

Garnishes

  • Green onion, sliced
  • Chili crisp oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a medium casserole dish, thoroughly combine coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, salt, and creamy peanut butter. Stir vigorously until the peanut butter is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth with no lumps.
  2. Add bok choy: Mix the chopped bok choy into the sauce, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful peanut curry mixture.
  3. Arrange dumplings: Place the frozen mini chicken dumplings seam side up in the casserole dish. Arrange them evenly, preferably in three rows: one along each long edge of the dish and one in the center, to allow even cooking.
  4. Coat dumplings with sauce: Using a small spoon, gently spoon the peanut curry sauce over the tops of each dumpling, ensuring they are well covered to absorb flavor during baking.
  5. Bake the casserole: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes. After baking, let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the dumplings to set.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the foil and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Drizzle with chili crisp oil according to your preferred spice level. Serve the dumpling bake alone or paired with steamed rice for a filling meal.

Notes

  • Chopped bok choy adds a fresh, slightly crunchy contrast to the creamy sauce but can be swapped with other leafy greens like spinach or Napa cabbage if preferred.
  • You can use any type of frozen mini chicken dumplings; ensure they are completely thawed for even baking or increase baking time slightly if used frozen.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste and chili crisp oil based on your spice tolerance.
  • This dish reheats well and can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
