Ingredients

Scale

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 Ingredient

  • 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 the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dish evenly.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Soyaki, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water until fully combined. This aromatic sauce will soak into the potstickers during baking.
  3. Arrange potstickers: Place about 20 frozen potstickers evenly in a baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared curry-coconut sauce evenly over the potstickers, ensuring they are well covered but not submerged.
  5. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. This will cook the potstickers through while allowing the sauce to thicken and infuse flavor.
  6. Garnish and serve: 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. Serve hot for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can use any type of frozen potstickers — pork, chicken, vegetable, or vegan options all work well.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add extra chili crisp to the sauce before baking or more on top when serving.
  • Ensure the baking dish is well covered with foil to prevent the sauce from drying out during cooking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave but may lose crispness.
  • This dish pairs nicely with steamed rice or a simple green salad for a fuller meal.
