Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy One Pan Dumpling Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your baking dish and other ingredients for efficient cooking.
  2. In a large baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated garlic, and ginger until smooth and well combined.
  3. Optionally, add ¼ cup of water for a brothier texture, stirring to blend.
  4. Chop the bok choy and slice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Stir these into the curry mixture, ensuring they're well coated.
  5. Arrange the frozen dumplings in a single layer over the broth, gently pressing them in slightly while keeping the tops visible.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the dumplings are crispy and golden.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and cilantro, and serve over jasmine rice or noodles.
