Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Soyaki
- 3/4 bottle Thai-style red curry sauce (prepared simmer sauce, not red curry paste)

- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
- 20 frozen potstickers of choice

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together Soyaki, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water to create the sauce.
- Step 3: Arrange the frozen potstickers evenly in a baking dish.
- Step 4: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the potstickers.
- Step 5: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the potstickers are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Step 6: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and a spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Use different flavors of potstickers like pork, chicken, or vegetable based on your preference.
- If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of red curry sauce or chili crisp.
- For added crunch, broil uncovered for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder if needed, but fresh gives the best flavor.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to keep the potstickers crispy. Microwave reheating is convenient but may soften the texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use fresh potstickers instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh potstickers will work but reduce baking time to avoid overcooking, checking for doneness around 20-25 minutes.
What can I use if I don’t have Soyaki?
Thin soy sauce mixed with a bit of honey and sesame oil works as a good substitute for Soyaki’s sweet and savory flavor.

Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Soyaki
- 3/4 bottle Thai-style red curry sauce (prepared simmer sauce, not red curry paste)
- 1 cup coconut milk (not sweetened coconut cream, like Coco Lopez)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup water
Main Ingredients
- 20 frozen potstickers of choice
Garnish
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Green onions, thinly sliced
- A spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potstickers evenly while melding the flavors of the sauce.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Soyaki, Thai-style red curry sauce, coconut milk, minced garlic, and water until fully combined for a creamy, savory base.
- Arrange Potstickers: Place about 20 frozen potstickers evenly in a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced to allow the sauce to coat each piece.
- Pour Sauce: Evenly pour the prepared sauce mixture over the potstickers, ensuring they are fully immersed for maximum flavor infusion.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes until the potstickers are cooked thoroughly and tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, uncover, and finish by sprinkling fresh chopped cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, and a spoonful of Crunchy Chili Onion or chili crisp on top before serving for added freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Use prepared simmer sauce specifically labeled Thai-style red curry sauce for authentic flavor—avoid using red curry paste as it is not pre-mixed with liquids.
- Coconut milk should be regular canned coconut milk, not sweetened cream alternatives like Coco Lopez to avoid an overly sweet outcome.
- Cover the dish tightly when baking to ensure moisture retention and even cooking of the potstickers.
- Adjust garnishes to taste; chili crisp adds a spicy crunch, but it can be omitted for a milder flavor.
- This dish works well with any variety of frozen potstickers—vegetarian or meat options can be used.
