Viral Dumpling Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 oz green onions (sliced)
• 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
• 1 tbsp garlic (grated)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (plus more for serving)
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil (plus extra for greasing the dish)
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp cornstarch (used as a binder)
• 14 wonton wrappers (medium thin)
• 0.25 cup water (for the baking dish, plus more for dipping and steaming)
• chili oil (for garnish (chili crunch oil also recommended))

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, sliced green onions, grated ginger, grated garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chicken bouillon, white pepper, and a little cornstarch.

2. 2

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the meat filling is well combined.

3. 3

   Grease a baking dish with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Dip individual wonton wrappers in water and layer them across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

5. 5

   Spread a thin, even layer of the meat filling over the wonton wrappers.

6. 6

   Repeat the process of dipping wrappers and layering meat until you have three layers of meat filling, finishing with a final layer of wonton sheets on top.

7. 7

   Pour 1/4 cup of water directly into the baking dish over the layers.

8. 8

   Place the baking dish inside a larger deep pan or pot. Add enough water to the larger pan to create a steamer setup.

9. 9

   Cover the larger pan with a lid and steam over medium heat for 45 minutes.

10. 10

    Carefully remove the dish and garnish with additional sliced green onions.

11. 11

    Season with extra soy sauce, chili oil, or chili crunch oil before serving.

Notes

The transcript mentions adding a little cornstarch as a binder, which helps the meat texture. The author notes that while this is a great time-saver, they still prefer the texture of traditional individual dumplings.
