Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet or baking dish.

2. Arrange the frozen dumplings in a single layer and brush or drizzle them with olive oil.

3. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the dumplings are hot and lightly golden.

4. While the dumplings bake, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and warm water until smooth.

5. Add more warm water if needed until the sauce reaches a pourable consistency.

6. Transfer the baked dumplings to a serving plate and drizzle the peanut sauce over the top.

7. Finish with red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, green onions, and chopped parsley or cilantro.

8. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan, or the dumplings will steam instead of turning lightly crisp around the edges.
