Step‑by‑Step Instructions for 1-Pan Dumpling Bake

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
Chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces and fold it into the coconut sauce until coated.
Arrange the frozen dumplings in a baking dish, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil for softer dumplings or leave uncovered for crispier texture.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until dumplings are heated through and sauce is bubbly.
Remove from oven, garnish with green onions, and serve hot.
