Ingredients

Scale

Satay Sauce

  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang paste
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli jam (or sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 × 14oz (400ml) can of coconut milk

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pack frozen dumplings (about 20 – 25, pork, chicken or veg)
  • 1/2 cup frozen edamame beans
  • 2 heads of bok choy, chopped

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 3 tablespoons chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions, finely sliced
  • A handful of cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of crushed peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon of crispy onions
  • 1 lime, sliced into wedges


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sauce: Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C (fan). In a baking dish or ovenproof skillet, whisk together ⅓ cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon gochujang paste, 1 tablespoon sweet chili jam, the grated ginger, crushed garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons fish sauce, and 1 can (400ml) coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Veggies and Dumplings: Scatter the frozen edamame beans and chopped bok choy evenly into the sauce and stir gently to combine. Arrange the frozen dumplings snugly in a single layer on top of the sauce, ensuring they are roughly half covered with the sauce to keep them moist during baking.
  3. Bake the Dish: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the dumplings are fully cooked through. For a golden, crispy top, broil the dumplings for 3 minutes at the end if desired.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle the dumplings with 3 tablespoons of chili oil. Scatter over crushed peanuts, finely sliced scallions, cilantro leaves, crispy onions, and sprinkle sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges to squeeze over before eating.

Notes

  • Use an ovenproof skillet or baking dish around 9 to 11 inches long and 3 to 4 inches deep for best results; a dish that's too large may cause the sauce to dry out.
  • If using a larger dish, cover with aluminum foil during baking to keep dumplings moist.
  • Frozen dumplings can be pork, chicken, or vegetarian depending on preference.
  • Baking time is based on standard frozen dumplings; check to ensure dumplings are thoroughly cooked before serving.
  • For extra heat, increase the amount of gochujang paste or chili oil used in the recipe.
  • This dish can be served as a complete meal or accompanied by steamed rice or extra greens.
