Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prevent sogginess, keep the dumplings separate from the broth if possible. For longer storage, you can freeze the assembled dish before baking, but it’s best to bake fresh for optimal texture.
Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the dumpling bake to an oven-safe dish if necessary, cover with foil, and heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. For a crispy topping, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of reheating.
Serving: Serve the dumpling bake hot, garnished with additional sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness. This dish pairs well with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor, consider incorporating cooked protein such as shredded chicken or tofu into the dumpling bake. You can also experiment with different types of cheese or seasonings to customize the dish to your taste.
