Recipe Ingredients
For exact ingredient amounts and instructions, see the full recipe card below.
- coconut milk: adds a rich, creamy base that balances the spice and brings the sauce together. It is a dairy free option when making the sauce.
- red curry paste: the curry paste provides bold flavor with a mix of chilies, garlic and wam spices. I like to buy mine from the store but you also can try making your own at home with this Homemade Red Curry Paste Recipe.
- dumplings: the star of this dish is the dumplings. It uses frozen dumplings that bake right in the pan. I used chicken dumplings but you could also use pork. You also could swap and use potstickers.
- ginger: ginger paste brings a fresh, slightly spicy warmth to the dish to brighten it and mixes well with the red curry paste. You can swap the ginger paste for fresh ginger or ground ginger.
- lime juice: the lime juice adds a pop of citrus to finish the sauce and balance the flavors.
- bok choy: fresh bok choy adds texture, color and a mild crunchy texture. Make sure to thinly chop the bok choy before adding it in.
Ways to Modify this Recipe
- vegetarian: for a vegetarian option use veggie dumplings.
- spice: modify this spice level by adding more spice like extra chili paste or sriracha.
- vegetables: add more vegetables like peas, bell peppers, mushrooms or baby spinach to the dumpling bake. You also can swap the bok choy for kale or napa cabbage.
- crispy dumplings: uncover the dish for the last 10 minutes or broil briefly to get a slightly crispy dumpling. If you broil make sure to only broil for 1-2 minutes so you don’t burn the dumplings.
- garnishes: add additional garnishes like toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, fresh basil or parsley or diced chilies.
