Mouthwatering Flavor In Every Bite!

Irresistible flavor doesn’t come any easier than this viral recipe for Baked Dumplings! Recipes from social media can be so hit or miss, but I’m here to tell you this one, which is inspired by CREATOR, is a total HIT!

With ingredients such as Gochujang chili paste concentrate, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, and chili crisp, this dish lights your taste buds up with incredible flavor! If spice isn’t your thing, you can leave out the chili crisp for a tamer dish that everyone can enjoy.

One of the best parts? This recipe takes just 35 minutes to make, AND it’s made and baked in the same pan. Making prep and clean up a major perk of this recipe, because who wants to do dishes after a delicious meal?!

  • Gochujang Chili Paste Concentrate
  • Honey
  • Tahini
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Hoisin Sauce
  • Garlic Paste
  • Ginger Paste
  • Lemon Paste
  • Salt
  • Lite Coconut Milk
  • Dumplings or Potstickers

Don’t shy away from this mouthwatering dumpling recipe based on the list of ingredients! The ingredients are actually quite common and easy to get your hands on locally.

If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, you can grab everything you need right from there! But if you’re like me and sadly don’t live close to one, you can still easily get the ingredients at Walmart, Target, or in the Asian/International aisle at your local grocery store.

Substitutions & Variations For Viral Baked Dumplings

  • Honey – 100% Pure maple syrup can be used in place of honey.
  • Rice Vinegar – If you don’t have rice vinegar on hand, apple cider vinegar can be used instead.
  • Lite Coconut Milk – You can use full-fat coconut milk if you prefer you can replace it with your milk of choice. Just keep in mind it may alter the final texture and taste of the sauce.
  • Gochujang Chili Paste Concentrate – Gochujang sauce can also be used, but you may want to add an additional tablespoon. Red curry paste can also be used in place of the gochujang concentrate, but it will slightly alter the overall flavor of the sauce.
  • Dumplings – Dumplings or potstickers can be used interchangeably in this recipe. I used Bibigo brand chicken dumplings and enjoyed them in this recipe. Pork, shrimp, or veggie potstickers would also be delicious. You can use mini or regular-sized dumplings in this recipe. If you’re serving this dish up as an appetizer, the minis would make the perfect size!
  • Add In Veggies – Feel free to make this dish with broccoli, shredded carrots, cauliflower, snap peas, or bok choy.
  • Garnishes – Thinly sliced green onions, extra chili crisp, fresh cilantro, or even a squeeze of lime juice.

Make Dinner Even Easier, Prep This Dish Ahead Of Time!

We love that this recipe is made in the same dish that it’s baked in, a true one-pot meal we love on busy weeknights. But, I like to take it a step further for an even easier dinner, I prep the sauce ahead of time!

To prep ahead of time, mix all of the sauce ingredients together and store them in a jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to make this recipe, shake the jar to reincorporate all of the ingredients and then pour the sauce out into the baking dish and add your dumplings!

This makes for an even easier dinner or is a great way to prep this recipe as an appetizer when hosting!

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.
