Notes

Baking tray

The baking tray i'm using is a white enamel dish that I've had for years. It's roughly 34cm x 28cm x 5cm (13.5" x 11" x 2"). Similar to this white enamel baking tray (<affiliate link).

Note on the Curry Paste

For this dumpling bake recipe use Blue Dragon Thai Red Curry Paste (<affiliate link) because it’s easy to find in UK supermarkets and gives a good, balanced heat without overpowering the dish.

Curry pastes vary between brands though. Some are hotter or saltier, so taste and adjust, add more for spice or a splash of extra coconut milk to mellow it.

You can also make your own if you prefer. 

Note on the Gyoza (dumplings)

Chicken, pork or vegetable gyoza all work, I've also tried this recipe with vegetarian ones and they work perfectly too. Mini dumplings cook slightly faster; larger ones may need a few extra minutes.
The nutritional information is estimated based on this dish serving 4 people having 4 gyoza each and excludes the serving suggestions. It may vary quite a bit based on your choice of gyoza and curry paste.
