One Pan Dumpling Dinner

 

 

  I'm always browsing recipes and scrolling through the tick tocks to find new easy recipes. Most of the time it's for a party or for an occasion. But this one shouldn't wait for a special occasion. It shouldn't wait for anything! It's so good and so easy, you should just make this for dinner! Like, TONIGHT. 

 If you know me, you know I love to fiddle with a recipe and tweak it to make it the way I like it (which is how I think everyone should cook, tbh.) But this time, it's already perfect as it is and I'm not changing anything! In fact, I liked it so much the first time I made it, I literally made it again the next day. It hits every single note, and it's simple and easy enough for a mid week dinner. Also it's a one pan dinner, and it comes together in a snap! Dinner on the table in a half hour? um, YES. Easy clean up? DOUBLE YES. 

 Now, don't get me wrong.. it's ABSOLUTELY elevated enough to serve to guests for a special dinner, but they don't have to know how simple it was to make. You can tell everyone you fussed about it all day. 

I promise I won't tell!! Enjoy!

 

 

 

2 tsp minced fresh garlic


1 tsp minced fresh ginger


3 tbs soy sauce


1 tbs rice vinegar


2 tsp toasted sesame oil


2 tbs red curry paste


1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk 


1/2 cup water


5 cups chopped bok choy


20 frozen chicken and vegetable or pork and vegetable dumplings


3 tbs chopped fresh parsley


1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion


2 tsp toasted sesame seeds


chili crunch oil (optional)




 

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.


Stir together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, curry paste, coconut milk, and water in a casserole dish until well combined. 
Add bok choy and dumplings. (No need to defrost dumplings). Toss lightly and cover casserole with foil.
 

Bake until dumplings are heated through at the center, about 25 minutes. 


To serve, drizzle with sauce from the pan. 

Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili crunch, if desired.

 

 

Tips:

This is usually the part where I would give recipe tips and tweaks, but like I said, this recipe is perfect as is! Wouldn't change a thing! 

The only thing I would advise is to keep the ingredients on hand so you'll have everything at the ready for when you need to make dinner in a hurry! 

Can't find fresh bok choy? Try Napa cabbage or another leafy green like Swiss chard or even just fresh spinach leaves! 

Btw, usually I'll give credit where credit is due, but I have no idea whose recipe this is. I've seen it on several websites and blogs and reels, so who knows? But since I first saw it on Allrecipes.com, I'll give them the credit! Great then.
