frozen potstickers or dumplings
olive oil or melted butter

coconut milk
red curry paste
peanut butter
soy sauce
lime juice
honey or brown sugar
garlic, minced
fresh ginger, grated

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. I arrange the frozen potstickers in a single layer and brush or spray them lightly with olive oil or melted butter.

I bake the potstickers for about 18 to 22 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crisp on the outside.

While the potstickers bake, I prepare the dip. I add the coconut milk, red curry paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, and ginger to a small saucepan. I heat it gently over low heat, whisking until smooth and creamy. I taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

I serve the potstickers hot with the warm curry dip on the side.

Variations

I sometimes use green curry paste instead of red for a different flavor. When I want extra heat, I add chili oil or crushed red pepper flakes to the dip. I also like using vegetable or chicken potstickers depending on what I have.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover potstickers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I use the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispiness. I store the curry dip separately and reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave. The Best Golden Baked Potstickers with Creamy Thai Curry Dip

Is the Thai curry dip very spicy?

I find it mild to medium, and I adjust the curry paste to control the heat.

Can I make the dip ahead of time?

I often make it ahead and reheat it gently before serving.

What else can I serve with these potstickers?
