Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Frozen potstickers (any variety: chicken or veggie)
Coconut milk
Red curry paste
Garlic, minced
Fresh ginger, grated
Soy sauce
Brown sugar
Lime juice
Green onions, for garnish
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Neutral oil (like avocado or canola)

Directions

I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I arrange the frozen potstickers on the sheet and brush them lightly with oil.
I bake for 20–25 minutes until the potstickers are golden and crisp on the bottom.
While they’re baking, I heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté garlic and ginger for about 1 minute.
I stir in red curry paste and cook it for another 1–2 minutes to bring out the flavor.
I pour in coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. I simmer the sauce for 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Once the potstickers are done, I transfer them to a serving dish and pour the warm curry sauce over them.
I garnish with green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.

Variations

I sometimes swap the red curry paste for green curry paste when I want a fresher, more herbal flavor. If I’m in the mood for spice, I add a little chili crisp or crushed red pepper to the sauce. I’ve also tried it with shrimp dumplings — absolutely delicious. For a dairy-free version, I stick with coconut milk and skip any creamy additions.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store the potstickers and curry sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop the potstickers in the oven or air fryer at 375°F for about 5–7 minutes to crisp them up again. I reheat the sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot, then pour it over the potstickers just before serving.

FAQs

How do I keep potstickers crispy after baking?

I make sure to space them out well on the baking sheet so they bake evenly and get that golden bottom. Brushing them lightly with oil also helps.

Can I use homemade dumplings for this recipe?

Yes, I’ve used homemade dumplings before — just make sure they’re sealed well and frozen before baking so they hold their shape and cook evenly.

What kind of curry paste works best?

I use Thai red curry paste for this recipe. It’s flavorful without being overpowering, but I sometimes switch to green curry paste for variety.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely. I use vegetable potstickers and stick with a plant-based curry paste and coconut milk. The flavor still comes out rich and satisfying.

Is this dish spicy?

It depends on the curry paste I use. Red curry paste has a mild to medium heat, but I can always tone it down by adding more coconut milk or a bit of sugar.
