Viral Oven Baked Dumpling Curry
I’ve been seeing this dumpling bake everywhere lately and it always looks damn delicious, so obvs had to try it.
It’s a great concept for a quick dinner, but the original versions are usually a bit light on veg. I’ve tweaked the ratios here to pack in more greens, making it a more balanced, high-fiber meal. I’d also recommend adding some shredded chicken or something for a protein boost (this meal provides around 15g protein as is).
It’s a one-pan recipe with basically zero prep. If you’re short on time but still want a proper dinner, this is for you.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 can coconut milk
2 tbsp red curry paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
1/4 cup salt reduced soy sauce
1.5 cups salt reduced chicken stock
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 lime, juiced
2 serves noodles of your choice (uncooked)
10 dumplings
3 cups mixed greens (broccoli, green beans, edamame, spinach)
Toppings: Fresh shallots, coriander, and sesame seeds
The Method
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2. In a baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, curry paste, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, stock, sesame oil, and lime juice
3. Add the noodles, broccoli, and beans to the sauce, then place the dumplings on top. Use a spoon to coat the dumplings in the mixture
4. Cover pan with foil and bake in oven for 30 minutes (removing foil for 10 minutes at the end). If you’re using spinach, stir it through right at the end so it wilts in the residual heat. Just as a side note - this recipe works without the foil too but I think turned out slightly better with foil.
5. Finish with plenty of fresh shallots, coriander, and sesame seeds.
The sauce is literally drinkable. 🤤
