Ingredients
- 14–20 frozen dumplings
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth.
- Pour sauce into a medium baking dish.
- Arrange frozen dumplings in a single layer in the sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
