The dumplings are light beige with slightly translucent skin, showing some folds and creases, and have browned spots from frying. The broth has little bubbles and sesame seeds, thin green onion slices, and small bits of herbs floating on top, creating a mix of red, white, and green colors around and on the dumplings. The bowl is set on a white marbled texture surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup Soyaki
3/4 bottle Thai-style red curry sauce (prepared simmer sauce, not red curry paste)
1 cup coconut milk (not sweetened coconut cream, like Coco Lopez)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup water
20 frozen potstickers of choice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together Soyaki, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water until well combined to create the sauce.
Step 3: Arrange the frozen potstickers evenly in a baking dish.
Step 4: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the potstickers, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until potstickers are cooked through and sauce is bubbling.
Step 6: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, and a spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispness, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the potstickers to brown slightly.
Substitute Thai-style red curry sauce with your favorite simmer sauce for different flavor profiles.
Add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added texture and nutrition.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili crisp or add fresh sliced chilies.

Storage

Store any leftover dumpling bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave until warmed through. The sauce may thicken after cooling, so you can stir in a splash of water or coconut milk when reheating.

How to Serve

A white baking dish filled with one layer of golden brown dumplings covered in a rich, shiny red-orange sauce with oil on the edges, topped with green sliced spring onions and black and white sesame seeds scattered across. Several dollops of dark red chili paste sit on top of the dumplings, adding texture and contrasting color. A silver spoon is lifting one dumpling, showing its slightly wrinkled surface and sauce pooling underneath. Around the dish, there are small white bowls with chili paste and sesame seeds, three garlic cloves, and a sliced green onion on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh potstickers instead of frozen?

Yes, you can use fresh potstickers. Adjust the baking time to ensure they are cooked through, usually reducing it by about 10 minutes.

What can I substitute for Soyaki if I don’t have it?

If Soyaki is unavailable, you can substitute it with an equal amount of soy sauce mixed with a little bit of honey and sesame oil to mimic the sweet and savory flavor.
