  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce and Aromatics

  • 1 13.5 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk (full fat preferred)
  • 1/2 bottle Trader Joe’s Thai style red curry sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

Potstickers and Garnishes

  • 1 16 ounce bag Trader Joe’s chicken gyoza potstickers
  • Chili crisps, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare sauce: Preheat your oven to 400 ℉. In a large casserole dish, combine the shaken coconut milk, Thai red curry sauce, Soyaki sauce, fresh lime juice, sesame oil, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and well blended.
  2. Arrange potstickers and bake: Nestle the chicken gyoza potstickers into the sauce in a single layer, making sure each is partially submerged. Spoon some of the sauce over the tops of the potstickers to keep them moist. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture, then bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  3. Crisp the tops: After 20 minutes, remove the foil to allow the tops to crisp. Continue baking uncovered for another 10 minutes. For extra crispiness, if your casserole dish is broiler-safe, you can broil the dish for an additional 1-2 minutes—watch carefully to avoid burning.
  4. Garnish and serve: When done, take the dish out of the oven and scatter chili crisps, fresh cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds on top for texture and fresh flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting dumpling bake.

Notes

  • Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening to ensure the cream and liquid mix well in the sauce.
  • Use a broiler-safe dish if you plan to broil for crispier tops; otherwise, skip this step or use the oven baking time.
  • Customize garnishes to your preference—adding sliced green onions or a squeeze of lime can elevate flavors further.
  • If you prefer vegetarian, substitute chicken gyoza with vegetable dumplings.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
