Ingredients

Scale

Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk or cream
  • 1/2 cup water

Main

  • 5 cups chopped bok choy
  • 20 frozen chicken and vegetable or pork and vegetable dumplings

Garnish

  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Chili crunch oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, red curry paste, coconut milk, and water. Whisk together until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful curry sauce.
  2. Cook Bok Choy: Heat a large pan over medium heat, then add the chopped bok choy. Sauté the bok choy until it becomes slightly wilted but still retains some crunch, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Dumplings: Arrange the frozen chicken and vegetable or pork and vegetable dumplings on top of the bok choy evenly in the same pan. Do not thaw the dumplings beforehand to maintain their shape and texture.
  4. Pour Sauce: Pour the prepared red curry sauce evenly over the dumplings and bok choy, ensuring all ingredients are well coated and submerged in the sauce.
  5. Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let everything simmer gently for about 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and tender, and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the lid and garnish the dish with chopped cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili crunch oil if desired. Serve hot straight from the pan for a comforting and easy meal.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken or pork vegetable dumplings or any other frozen dumplings of your choice.
  • Do not thaw dumplings before cooking to prevent them from sticking or falling apart.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add more red curry paste or extra chili oil.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or noodles to soak up the sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable dumplings and use vegetable broth instead of water.
