Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Frozen potstickers (any variety—pork, chicken, or veggie)
Coconut milk (full-fat for richness)
Yellow curry paste or red curry paste
Garlic (minced)
Ginger (grated or minced)
Onion (finely chopped)
Soy sauce
Brown sugar or honey
Lime juice
Vegetable oil or butter
Salt
Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
Optional: red chili flakes or sliced fresh chili for heat

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, I heat oil or butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft.
I add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
I stir in the curry paste and let it cook briefly to bring out the flavor.
I pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and a splash of lime juice, whisking to combine everything into a smooth sauce.
I bring the sauce to a simmer, then remove it from heat.
I nestle the frozen potstickers in the sauce in a single layer.
I cover the dish with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes until the potstickers are heated through and tender.
I remove the foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes to let the tops lightly brown.
I garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions and serve hot.

Variations

I use red curry paste for a spicier version or green curry for a herby twist.
I’ve made this with homemade dumplings, but frozen saves tons of time.
I mix in chopped spinach or kale before baking for extra greens.
Sometimes I add a splash of fish sauce for more umami depth.
For a dairy version, I’ve swapped coconut milk with heavy cream and it still works beautifully.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I cover and warm them in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes, or microwave in short bursts, stirring the sauce as I go. If the sauce thickens too much, I just add a little water or more coconut milk to loosen it up. Viral Baked Potstickers in Creamy Curry Sauce

FAQs

Can I use pan-fried potstickers instead of baking them?

Yes, I’ve pan-fried the potstickers first for extra crispness and then baked them in the sauce. It adds a great texture contrast.

Is this dish very spicy?

It depends on the curry paste. I usually start mild and add chili flakes or fresh chili for heat. I control the spice level easily that way.

Can I make this dish vegan?

Absolutely. I use veggie potstickers and check the curry paste to make sure it’s vegan. Coconut milk makes it creamy without any dairy.

What can I serve with this dish?

I usually serve it with steamed jasmine rice, naan, or a simple cucumber salad for balance. It’s rich, so something fresh on the side works well.

Can I freeze leftovers?

I don’t recommend freezing after baking because the sauce can separate, but I’ve frozen the sauce and potstickers separately before baking with good results.

Conclusion

Viral Baked Potstickers in Creamy Curry Sauce is a fusion recipe that totally lives up to the hype. I love how easy it is to make, how rich the flavors are, and how it takes something familiar and turns it into something unforgettable. It’s the kind of comfort food I keep coming back to—cozy, spicy, and absolutely delicious.
