For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Soyaki (or Soy Sauce) Contributes saltiness and umami; opt for tamari for a gluten-free alternative.

For the Bake
  • 12 oz Frozen Chicken Dumplings Any variety of frozen dumplings works beautifully.
  • 4 cups Spinach Can be substituted with kale or arugula for added heartiness.
For Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Oil Crunch Adds a spicy, crunchy topping.
