Ingredients
Scale
Satay Sauce
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon gochujang paste
- 1 tablespoon sweet chilli jam
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 × 14oz (400ml) can coconut milk
Main Ingredients
- 1 pack frozen dumplings (about 20 – 25, pork, chicken or veg)
- 1/2 cup frozen edamame beans
- 2 heads bok choy, chopped
Toppings and Garnishes
- 3 tablespoons chili oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- A handful of cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
- 1 tablespoon crispy onions
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Sauce: Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C (fan). In a baking dish or ovenproof skillet, whisk together peanut butter, gochujang paste, sweet chili jam, grated ginger, crushed garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and coconut milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Vegetables to Sauce: Scatter the frozen edamame beans and chopped bok choy into the sauce and stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Arrange Dumplings: Place the frozen dumplings snugly in a single layer within the sauce, ensuring they are roughly half covered by the sauce to keep them juicy during baking.
- Bake Dumplings: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are cooked through.
- Optional Broil for Crispiness: For a golden, crispy top, broil (grill) the dumplings for an additional 3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the baked dumplings with chili oil, then top with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, sliced scallions, cilantro leaves, and crispy onions. Squeeze fresh lime wedges over just before serving and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This dish works best in a 9 to 11 inch-long ovenproof skillet or baking dish with 3 to 4 inches depth to prevent the sauce from drying out during baking.
- If using a larger baking dish, cover it with aluminum foil or a lid while baking to keep the dumplings moist.
- You can substitute the sweet chilli jam with your favorite sweet and spicy sauce if unavailable.
- To vary protein, use pork, chicken, or vegetable frozen dumplings as desired.
- Broiling at the end is optional but adds a delicious crispy top texture.
- Serve with extra lime wedges for added freshness.
