Crispy Oven-Baked Dumplings with Coconut Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

Dumplings and Vegetables:

- 16 frozen dumplings
- 1 cup bok choy, chopped
- 1 cup spinach

Coconut Peanut Sauce:

- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Garnish:

- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup Thai basil, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet inside to heat up as the oven preheats.

2. Prepare the Dumplings:
Arrange the frozen dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced apart.

3. Roast Vegetables:
In a bowl, toss the chopped bok choy and spinach with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Spread these around the dumplings on the baking sheet.

4. Bake Dumplings and Vegetables:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden and crispy, and the vegetables are roasted but still vibrant.

5. Make the Coconut Peanut Sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, fish sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir until smooth and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Flavor the Sauce with Sesame Oil:
Remove the sauce from heat, and add the remaining sesame oil. Stir to incorporate.

7. Plate the Dish:
Arrange the baked dumplings and roasted vegetables on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with coconut peanut sauce.

8. Garnish:
Sprinkle chopped cilantro and Thai basil over the top before serving.
