Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp red curry paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger until smooth.

Nestle 24 pieces frozen, not thawed frozen dumplings or gyoza into the sauce in a single layer, pressing them down slightly so the bottoms sit in the liquid.

Remove the foil and bake 8 to 10 minutes more, until the tops of the dumplings are lightly browned and the sauce has thickened.
