Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Soyaki
  • 3/4 bottle Thai-style red curry sauce (prepared simmer sauce, not red curry paste)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (not sweetened coconut cream, like Coco Lopez)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup water

Main Ingredients

  • 20 frozen potstickers of choice

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Green onions, thinly sliced
  • A spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to fully preheat while preparing the dish.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Soyaki, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water until fully combined, creating a smooth flavorful sauce.
  3. Arrange potstickers: Place about 20 frozen potstickers evenly in a baking dish, ensuring they are spread out but snug enough for even cooking.
  4. Pour sauce and cover: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the potstickers, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture while baking.
  5. Bake: Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, allowing the potstickers to cook through and absorb the curry sauce flavors.
  6. Garnish and serve: After baking, remove the foil and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, and a spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp over the top before serving for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use frozen potstickers straight from the freezer; no need to thaw before baking.
  • The sauce is made from prepared simmer sauce, so avoid substituting with curry paste to achieve the intended flavor profile.
  • Covering with foil helps keep the potstickers moist while baking; remove foil only after baking to add garnishes.
  • You can customize garnishes to taste, such as adding a squeeze of lime for extra zest.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and potsticker brand; check potstickers for doneness before serving.
