Ingredients

Scale

Sauce and Filling

  • 1 ⅔ cups (400 ml) Coconut Cream
  • ½ teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
  • Handful of Spinach

Dumplings

  • 24 Dumplings or Potstickers
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • Seasoning Packet from Potstickers (optional)

Garnish (optional)

  • Crispy Chili Oil
  • Chives
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare sauce: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large 9×13 inch casserole dish, whisk together the coconut cream, powdered ginger, minced garlic, maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red curry paste until fully combined to form a rich curry sauce.
  2. Add spinach and arrange dumplings: Scatter a handful of fresh spinach evenly over the sauce, then place 24 dumplings or potstickers on top of the spinach in a single layer. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the dumplings for extra flavor. If using, sprinkle in the seasoning packet from the potstickers to enhance taste.
  3. Bake covered: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes at 400°F, stirring gently about halfway through to ensure the dumplings soak in the sauce evenly.
  4. Finish baking uncovered: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the tops of the dumplings are slightly browned and crisped.
  5. Serve: Serve the baked dumplings hot, either over cooked rice with roasted broccoli for a full meal or as an appetizer. Garnish with optional crispy chili oil, chopped chives, and toasted sesame seeds as desired for extra flavor and texture.
