1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 oz)
2 tbsp red curry paste
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp rice vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
4 cups bok choy, chopped
15–20 frozen dumplings (pork, chicken, or veggie)
Optional toppings: chili crisp, green onions, sesame seeds, cilantro, lime

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 400°F. Get it hot and ready—this dish moves quick once it’s loaded.

2️⃣ In a 9×13, whisk up your base: coconut milk, curry paste, garlic, ginger, soy, oyster sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil, rice vinegar.
👉 This is your flavor engine—rich, savory, layered.

3️⃣ Squeeze in fresh lime juice. Brightness cuts through the richness—don’t skip it.

4️⃣ Fold in chopped bok choy. We’re sneaking in greens without sacrificing comfort.

5️⃣ Lay frozen dumplings right on top, single layer. No thawing, no fuss—straight from freezer to glory.

6️⃣ Cover tight with foil. Bake 25–30 minutes until dumplings are tender and the sauce is bubbling underneath.

7️⃣ Finish like a pro: chili crisp, green onions, sesame seeds, fresh lime, cilantro.
