Notes

💡 Recipe Tips

Make sure each dumpling is mostly submerged in the sauce when putting in the dish. If some is not, that is ok.

The red curry paste is also a little spicy, so if you are unsure, maybe try two tablespoons for the first time making this.

You can get the sauce mixed together ahead of time and cover the dish and place in the refrigerator. Add the dumplings and veggies right before cooking. Adding the dumplings will cause them to thaw, and they can become mushy.

I like to keep most of these ingredients on hand for when I don't feel like cooking and need to throw a quick dinner together with minimal effort. Frozen stir fry veggies can be kept for this reason.

🫙 Storage & Reheating

Storage: Store this in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a microwave or oven (covered) until hot. I don't recommend the stove for reheating.

Freezing: You can freeze the prepared dish unbaked in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking.

🧂Additions & Substitutions

Additions: Experiment with flavor variations!

drizzle with sriracha sauce
drizzle with spicy mayo sauce
top with a splash of lime juice

Substitutions:

pork, shrimp or veggie dumplings can be used
alternatives for soyaki sauce - try a combination of soy sauce, fish sauce (small amount), brown sugar, sesame oil (small amount) and rice vinegar
other veggies I might try - sliced green peppers, zucchini, broccoli, onions
instead of the red curry paste, try yellow curry paste or green curry paste

It can be made vegan. Check to make sure the curry paste and the dumplings you are using are vegan and you are good to go!

What's the difference between a potsticker and a dumpling?

A potsticker is a dumpling, but is called a potsticker usually because of how it's prepared. For this recipe, if your package says potsticker or dumpling, both will work fine.
