Ingredients
1 can coconut milk (Substitute with full-fat dairy cream or almond milk)
2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste (Green curry paste can be used for variation)
3 tablespoons Soyaki or soy sauce (Tamari for gluten-free option)
3 cloves garlic, minced (Garlic powder can substitute)
2 handfuls spinach (Substitute with kale or arugula if preferred)
1 bag frozen chicken dumplings (Any frozen variety works)
1 tablespoon chili oil crunch (Drizzle before serving)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium baking dish, mix coconut milk, red curry paste, soyaki, and minced garlic until well combined.
Layer fresh spinach evenly on top of the sauce mixture.
Arrange the frozen chicken dumplings over the spinach layer.
Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until dumplings are cooked through and sauce is bubbly.
Remove foil, drizzle with chili oil crunch, and serve hot.
Notes
Customize spice level by adding more or less curry paste and chili oil.
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable dumplings.
Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.
