One-Pan Viral Dumpling Bake (Easy Weeknight Recipe)
This Wonton Bake is a creamy, one-pan dinner and a twist on the viral Trader Joe’s dumpling bake, made with frozen dumplings, shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped bok choy, and a Thai red curry coconut sauce. Finished with chili crisp and fresh lime juice.
- Total Time1 hour
- Yield4-6 servings 1x
Ingredients
- Frozen mini wontons or dumplings (1½ pounds)
- Shredded rotisserie chicken ( 1½ cups)
- Baby bok choy, chopped (1-2 heads)
- Full-fat coconut milk (1 can, 13.5 oz)
- Chicken broth (¼ cup)
- Red curry paste (1 tablespoon)
- Garlic cloves, minced (2 cloves)*
- Fresh ginger, grated (1 teaspoon)*
- Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
- Fish sauce ( 1 teaspoon) **
- Chili crisp, for finishing (to taste)
- Fresh lime juice, for finishing (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add frozen mini wontons or dumplings (1½ pounds) and shredded rotisserie chicken (1½ cups) to a 9"x13" baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
- Scatter baby bok choy, chopped (1-2 heads) evenly over the dumplings and chicken.
- In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together full-fat coconut milk (13.5 oz), chicken broth (¼ cup), red curry paste (1 tablespoon), garlic cloves, minced (2 cloves), fresh ginger, grated (1 teaspoon), soy sauce (2 tablespoons), and fish sauce (1 teaspoon) until smooth.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the contents of the baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the dumplings are tender and heated through.
- Remove the foil and gently stir to coat everything in the sauce. If things look dry at this point, add a splash of chicken broth (as needed). Return the dish to the oven uncovered for 12–15 minutes, until bubbling and slightly thickened.
- Finish with chili crisp (to taste) and fresh lime juice (to taste) just before serving.
Notes
* Dorot frozen garlic and ginger cubes are a great shortcut here and work perfectly in place of fresh.
**If not using fish sauce, add an additional ½ tablespoon of soy sauce to boost the savory flavor.
Use frozen dumplings or wontons straight from the freezer. Do not thaw before baking.
Full-fat coconut milk creates the creamiest sauce. Light coconut milk will work but the sauce will be thinner.
