Description

Dumpling Lasagna is a delicious twist on traditional lasagna using savory ground pork filling layered between wonton wrappers. This Asian-inspired dish is steamed to perfection, creating tender, flavorful layers that make for a unique and satisfying meal. Ready in just 40 minutes, it’s an easy and impressive dish to serve for lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Assembly

  • 12 wonton wrappers (circles)

Optional Garnishes

  • Chili crisp sauce
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce


Instructions

  1. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. Dividing the mixture into three equal portions will help for easier layering in the next steps.
  2. Layer the ingredients: Spread one third of the pork mixture evenly into the bottom of a 3-cup baking dish. Cut three wonton wrappers in half and arrange them around the edge of the dish with the cut side facing inward. Place one whole wonton wrapper in the center to complete the first layer. Repeat this layering process two more times with the remaining pork mixture and wonton wrappers, building up three layers in total.
  3. Steam the lasagna: Fill a large saucepan with about 1 inch of water and place a steamer basket inside. Position the baking dish with the assembled dumpling lasagna into the steamer. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and steam for 30 to 35 minutes until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F, ensuring the pork is fully cooked.
  4. Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the dish from the steamer, uncover, and garnish with soy sauce, additional sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crisp sauce as desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Dividing the pork filling into three portions makes layering easier and ensures even cooking.
  • Using reduced-sodium soy sauce helps control the saltiness of the dish.
  • If you do not have mirin, a small amount of dry sherry or sweet cooking wine can be substituted.
  • Ensure the water in the steamer does not run dry during cooking to avoid burning or steaming interruption.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to guarantee pork is safely cooked to 160°F.
  • Optional garnishes like chili crisp sauce can add a spicy kick, but adjust to personal taste.
