- Main Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Start by heating the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a medium casserole dish or an oven-safe braiser.
- Make the Sauce Base
- Pour the broth into the baking dish, then add peanut butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
- Using a whisk, mix everything together until the peanut butter is mostly blended into a smooth, creamy liquid.
- Arrange the Dumplings
- Place the frozen dumplings into the dish with the sauce, setting them flat-side down so they sit evenly.
- Spoon some of the sauce over the top of each dumpling to coat them lightly.
- Add the Vegetables
- Nestle the broccoli florets between and around the dumplings, making sure they are partially covered in the sauce.
- Tear large florets into smaller pieces if necessary for even cooking.
- Bake Until Tender
- Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- When the dumplings are cooked through and tender, remove the cover and stir the sauce gently.
- Let the dish sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the Finishing Touches
- Sprinkle with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and chili crisp if you like a bit of heat.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Serve straight from the baking dish, letting the dumplings soak up the rich, savory peanut sauce.
