Equipment

1 9x13" Casserole Dish

Ingredients

Dumplings

18-22 frozen chicken potstickers/dumplings/gyoza I used a 14-ounce bag of chicken dumplings

Sauce

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups canned full-fat coconut milk stirred well
2 Tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 Tablespoons soy sauce or tamari sauce
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
6 teaspoons minced garlic

Veggies

2 cups thinly sliced baby bella mushrooms 8 ounces
2 cups chopped broccoli florets cut small

For Serving

2 green onions thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
2 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9”x13” casserole dish with cooking spray.
In the baking dish, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
Add the veggies and toss with the sauce.
Place frozen potstickers in a single layer on top of the sauce/veggies. Spoon some of the sauce over them so they’re not dry.
Cover the dish tightly with parchment paper and then foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and carefully uncover it. Spoon sauce over any dumplings that aren’t already submerged in the sauce.
Bake for another 15 minutes (uncovered) until the sauce has thickened a bit and is super bubbly.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Divide among 4 bowls: brown rice, potstickers, the sauce with veggies, green onions, cilantro and sesame seeds.

Notes

Since I have a gas oven, I needed to put my pan on the lower rack, which is closer to the heat source, in order to get the sauce to start bubbling while the pan is covered. So, I’d recommend putting the pan a bit closer to the heat source in your oven, but not directly!
