Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 oz) package Trader Joe's Chicken or Chicken Gyoza
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (or sriracha, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Step 2: Spread the fresh spinach evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen Trader Joe's dumplings in a single layer over the spinach.
- Step 3: Spoon the prepared sauce mixture over the dumplings, ensuring they are coated. Gently toss the dumplings and spinach in the dish to evenly distribute the sauce.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the dumplings and sauce mixture.
- Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the dumplings are cooked through and slightly golden at the edges. If desired, broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra browning.
Notes
- Leftovers store beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, making for a quick and comforting meal later in the week.
- For best results when reheating, pop individual portions into the microwave until warmed through, or for a crispier top, warm in a 300°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until bubbly again.
- This delightful bake pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette to cut through the richness, or sprinkle with fresh chopped scallions for a bright finish.
- To ensure every dumpling gets perfectly coated and absorbs maximum flavor, try gently tossing the frozen dumplings directly with the sauce mixture in a separate bowl *before* arranging them over the spinach in the baking dish.
