Think of this as your midweek dinner hack: one pot, zero faff, and maximum flavour. Creamy coconut, golden dumplings, and a hit of Thai-inspired spice - basically the weeknight hug you didn’t know you needed.

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • ½-1 tsp white or yellow miso paste
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tsp Grape Tree Thai seasoning
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small pak choi, chopped
  • 100g edamame beans (shelled)
  • 100g fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 100g baby corn, halved if large
  • 200g store-bought dumplings
  • 1-2 tsp chili oil, for garnish
  • 1 tsp toasted peanuts, for garnish
  • Fresh coriander, to garnish

Optional: Thai basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).
  2. In a large oven-proof dish, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, miso paste, grated ginger and Thai seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Mix in red pepper, pak choi, edamame, shiitake mushrooms, and baby corn. Stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
  4. Place the dish in the oven uncovered and bake for 12-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven and gently nestle the store-bought dumplings into the sauce and vegetables. Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and lightly golden on top.
