Tips & Tricks for the Viral Trader Joe’s Dumpling Bake
🥟 Don’t thaw the dumplings.
Bake them straight from frozen. Thawing can make them too soft and cause them to fall apart while baking.
🥥 Use full-fat coconut milk.
Full-fat coconut milk gives you that rich, creamy sauce. Light coconut milk will work, but the sauce won’t be as thick or flavorful.
🌶 Adjust the spice level.
Red curry paste and chili crunch both add heat. Start with less if you’re sensitive to spice, and add more at the end to taste.
🥬 Add extra veggies.
Bell peppers, shredded carrots, snap peas, or mushrooms all work great in this baked dumpling casserole and make it even more filling.
🍚 Serve it over rice.
Jasmine or basmati rice soaks up the creamy coconut curry sauce perfectly. You can also serve it with cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
🔥 Broil for crispy edges.
Want slightly crispy dumplings? Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking and broil briefly (watch closely!).
🧄 Make it a one-pan meal.
Stir in pre-cooked shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken to bulk it up into a heartier dinner.
