Ingredients

For the Bake

20 pieces Gyoza-style potstickers Use frozen ones from Trader Joe's for the best flavor and texture.
3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic enhances the aromatic depth of the dish.
1/2 cup Soyaki sauce Offers a sweet and savory balance; teriyaki sauce can be a great alternative.
1 cup Thai-style red curry sauce This is the key flavoring agent; opt for a prepared simmer sauce for ease.
1 can Coconut milk Adds creaminess to the sauce; substitute with a mix of 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup yogurt if needed.
1/4 cup Water Use this to thin the sauce for a perfectly pourable consistency.

For the Toppings

1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Adds a burst of freshness and color to your finished dish.
2 stalks Green onions Brings crunch and mild onion flavor; perfect for garnishing.
to taste Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp Optional but recommended for a spicy, crunchy finish.

Method

How to Make Trader Joe's Dumpling Bake

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This initial step ensures that your dumpling bake gets the perfect, even heat throughout cooking.
Whisk together in a mixing bowl the soyaki sauce, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water.
Arrange approximately 20 frozen potstickers in a large baking dish. Make sure they’re spread evenly for uniform cooking and heat distribution.
Pour the sauce evenly over the arranged potstickers, covering them completely.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30–40 minutes until the potstickers are heated through and tender.
Remove from the oven, and garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and a spoonful of crunchy chili crisp before serving.

Notes

For optional serving, pair with steamed edamame for a delightful side. Leftovers can easily be reheated in a skillet to maintain a crispy texture—just add a splash of water to steam.
