Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking dish and ingredients.
In a medium baking dish, whisk together coconut milk, red Thai curry paste, soyaki, and minced garlic until smooth.
Spread fresh spinach evenly over the sauce, pressing it down to absorb flavors.
Arrange frozen chicken dumplings over the spinach layer, ensuring they touch but do not overcrowd.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, until bubbling and dumplings are cooked.
Carefully remove the foil and drizzle chili oil crunch over the top before serving.
