Ingredients
- 1½ cups broth or water
- ⅔ cups natural peanut butter where the ingredients are just peanuts and maybe salt
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 cups broccoli florets or broccolini
- 14-20 frozen dumplings based on your baking dish size
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro for garnish
- ¼ cup sliced scallion greens for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
- 2-4 tablespoons chili crisp for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F.
- Make the peanut sauce: In a medium casserole dish or 3.5-quart oven-safe braiser, add in the broth/water, peanut butter, garlic, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Whisk to combine, so that the peanut butter is mostly dissolved in the liquid.
- Nestle the dumplings: Arrange the frozen dumplings pinched-side down in the baking dish. Spoon some of the liquid over the top of each dumpling.
- Add the broccoli: Add the broccoli or broccolini florets, nestling them in between the dumplings. You can use your hands to rip the florets smaller if you'd like.
- Bake covered: Cover the dish tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are tender and cooked through. Remove from the oven and give the dish a stir. Let it sit uncovered for up to 5 minutes for the broth to thicken up.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven. Finish with chili crisp, cilantro, scallions, and sesame seeds. Serve the baked dumplings in peanut sauce and enjoy.
