Description
Frozen dumplings baked with broccoli in a creamy garlic peanut sauce, topped with fresh herbs and sesame seeds for an easy, flavor-packed dinner.
Ingredients
- 14–20 frozen dumplings (pork, chicken, shrimp, or vegetable)
- 2 cups broccoli florets, trimmed into small pieces
- 2 cups broth or water
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2–4 tablespoons chili crisp (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and broth until smooth.
- Arrange frozen dumplings in a lightly greased baking dish in a single layer.
- Scatter broccoli florets around the dumplings.
- Pour peanut sauce evenly over dumplings and broccoli.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes, until dumplings are heated through and broccoli is tender.
- Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
- Garnish with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and chili crisp if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- If sauce is too thick before baking, add 1–2 tablespoons extra broth.
- Cut broccoli into small pieces for even cooking.
- Add fresh lime juice before serving for extra brightness.
- Serve over rice or noodles to soak up the sauce.
