- Add a dash of lime juice before serving for a bright, tangy flavor.
- To make it spicier, stir extra chili crisp into the sauce before baking.
- Using fresh garlic instead of minced jarred garlic enhances the sauce’s aroma and flavor.

FAQs
Can I use homemade dumplings instead of frozen potstickers?
Yes, homemade dumplings work well. Just make sure they are fully cooked or partially cooked before baking to ensure they heat evenly without drying out.
Is there a substitute for the Thai-style red curry sauce?
If you can’t find the Thai-style red curry simmer sauce, you can use red curry paste mixed with a bit of water and a splash of soy sauce as a quick alternative, adjusting seasoning to taste.
