Make the viral baked dumplings everyone’s talking about! Crispy edges, tender centers, and a rich, savory sauce—an easy one-pan dinner ready in minutes.

Ingredients  

  • ¼ cup lite soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang chili paste concentrate I use Mother In Law's brand, see notes
  • 2 tablespoons honey or 100% pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste I use Gourmet Garden brand
  • 2 teaspoons ginger paste I use Gourmet Garden brand
  • 1 teaspoon lemon paste I use Gourmet Garden brand
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 14 ounces lite coconut milk 400mL
  • 16 to 24 ounces dumplings or potstickers fresh or frozen, see notes
  • chili crisp topping to taste
  • scallions chopped for garnish
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Whisk together ¼ cup lite soy sauce, 3 tablespoons gochujang chili paste concentrate, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon tahini, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon garlic paste, 2 teaspoons ginger paste, 1 teaspoon lemon paste, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Pour in 14 ounces lite coconut milk to the spices and whisk to combine.
  • Add 16 to 24 ounces dumplings or potstickers to the baking pan and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle with chili crisp to taste (most of the heat comes from this, so add with caution) and sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy plain as an app or over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • I use Bibigo brand chicken dumplings in both mini and regular to test this recipe. 
  • This sauce works best for 16 to 24 ounces of dumplings.
  • Fresh or frozen dumplings can be used; fresh ones will bake through a bit quicker.
  • You can use the same amount of sauce to make a large batch bag of 32-ounces. This is great for a large group appetizer, but it doesn't leave a ton of sauce leftover. 
  • Gochujang sauce can also be used, but you may want to add an additional tablespoon. You can also use red curry paste if you cannot find gochujang, but it will slightly alter the flavor profile.
  • The sauce can be mixed together and stored in a jar for up to 24 hours in advance if prepping for an event. Dumplings themselves should be enjoyed soon after baking.
  • Optional: Add 2 cups chopped bok choy or baby spinach if desired.
  • This recipe is incredibly flavorful and forgiving; feel free to get creative with other ingredients like peanut butter, sesame oil, and more.
