Ingredients
 

  • 14 oz can full fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium shallot diced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 packed cups baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 20-30 frozen dumplings or potstickers amount will depend on their size, I used 30 mini

Garnishes

  • fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • sliced green onions
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • chili oil if you want it spicy

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Make the sauce. In the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, whisk together coconut milk, diced shallot, grated ginger, Thai red curry paste, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, fish sauce, and toasted sesame oil.
  • Add greens. Add the chopped spinach and give it another whisk.
  • Add dumplings/potstickers. Place the frozen dumplings on top of the sauce and spinach mixture then spoon some of the sauce over the top of the dumplings.
  • Bake. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and dumplings are tender and lightly golden brown on the outside.
  • Garnish. Top with sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations

No coconut sugar? - you can also use brown sugar or maple syrup.
No spinach? - use different veggies such as baby bok choy or frozen green beans.
Use a different curry - such as yellow curry paste or green curry paste for a different flavor profile.
Make it gluten free - use gluten free potstickers/dumplings and low sodium tamari.
Make it vegan - omit the fish sauce, season to taste with more salt as needed, and use vegan dumplings.
Add-ins - chopped cooked chicken or cubed tofu nestled in between the dumplings for added protein, a squeeze of fresh lime juice or chili oil for added spice before serving.
