Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In the 9x13-inch pan, whisk together the coconut milk, garlic paste, ginger paste, curry powder, red curry paste, coriander, chili powder, salt & pepper (I add 1/4 tsp each), lime juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in the spinach, then arrange the frozen wontons evenly in the sauce. Press them down gently so they’re mostly coated in sauce.

    Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven, drizzle toasted sesame oil on top, stir gently, and flip the wontons so they’re fully covered in sauce. Taste and adjust for seasoning.

  6. 6

    Top with cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds, and a good drizzle of chili crunch. Serve immediately as-is or over rice.
