Coconut-curry dumpling bake

That looks like effort. How convenient.

Frozen dumplings, a coconut-curry bath and almost no washing up. A proper dinner without the performance.

Here’s the clever bit.

  1. Warm up

    Heat a conventional oven to 375°F / 190°C.

  2. Make the sauce

    Whisk coconut milk, curry paste, teriyaki and garlic together in an oven-safe 9 x 9-inch dish. Fold in the spinach.

  3. Tuck them in

    Arrange frozen dumplings in one layer. Spoon sauce over their exposed tops and cover tightly with foil.

  4. Bake, then check

    Bake 25–30 minutes, then check. Continue cooking as necessary for tender wrappers and thoroughly heated centres. For a meat or poultry dumpling casserole, check 165°F / 74°C internally with a food thermometer. Follow package safety instructions.

  5. Finish it well

    Rest briefly. Finish with spring onion and optional chilli crisp.

A small detail. A better result.

Use curry paste, not a jar of ready-made curry sauce. They are not interchangeable spoon-for-spoon.

A little curiosity looks good on you

What should get a second look?

An everyday ingredient. A forgotten corner. A wildly impractical idea. There’s always somewhere interesting to start.
