Ingredients
  

Crispy Baked Dumplings with Peanut Sauce
  • 1 lb Pleated Asian Dumplings Fresh or frozen. Do not thaw if using frozen.
  • 2 tbsp Neutral Cooking Oil Avocado or vegetable oil for crisping.
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Unsweetened.
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 3-4 tbsp Warm Water Use to thin the sauce to a glossy consistency.
  • 1 tbsp Toasted White Sesame Seeds
  • 2 stalks Green Scallions Finely chopped.

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Duty Baking Sheet A light-colored aluminum half-sheet pan for even heat distribution.
  • 1 Parchment Paper Prevents the delicate dumpling wrappers from sticking.
  • 1 Small Whisk Essential for emulsifying the glossy peanut sauce.

Method
 

Preparing and Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the pleated dumplings gently with the neutral oil until fully coated.
  2. Arrange the oiled dumplings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until they have perfectly golden-brown, blistered edges.
  3. While the dumplings bake, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Whisk vigorously while slowly adding the warm water until the sauce is thick and glossy.
  4. Transfer the baked dumplings to a white ceramic rectangular plate in a single layer. Generously drizzle the warm-tan peanut sauce over the top, then scatter with toasted white sesame seeds and chopped green scallions.

Notes

Tip 1: Do not thaw frozen dumplings before baking, as they will become soggy and fail to blister.
Tip 2: If your peanut sauce looks dull, vigorously whisk in another teaspoon of hot water to restore the glossy emulsion.
