Ingredients
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste (or miso paste)
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar or coconut sugar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 bunches bok choy, trimmed and roughly chopped (or kale)
  • 1 (16- to 20-ounce) bag frozen dumplings (any variety)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for serving

Method

  2. to the dish and gently toss to coat it in the sauce.
  3. dumplings evenly in the dish, nestling them into the sauce. The sauce should come up about halfway. Cover the dish with foil for soft dumplings, or leave it uncovered for a crisp top.
  4. until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are hot in the center.

Notes

The use of coconut milk not only enriches the sauce but also provides a creamy texture that beautifully balances the spiciness of the red curry paste. The fat content in coconut milk helps to carry and amplify the flavors, ensuring each bite is rich and satisfying.
