Ingredients

Dumpling Filling

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/4 onion grated
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1/2 inch knob ginger grated
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 dash dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Dumpling Sauce

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp hot water
  • 6 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp chili crisp
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Other

  • Dumpling wrappers store-bought

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, grated onion, garlic, ginger, green onions, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • (For the sauce) In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and hot water until dissolved. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili crisp, and sesame oil. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Lightly grease a heat-safe dish. Add a layer of dumpling wrappers to the bottom.
  • Spread a thin, even layer of the pork mixture over the wrappers, pressing it out so it fully covers the surface.
  • Repeat the layers (wrappers, pork) until all ingredients are used, finishing with chicken broth on top (1/4-1/2 Cup).
  • Place the dish in a steamer and steam over medium heat for 25–30 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked through.
  • OR place the dish inside a larger dish filled with water (water bath), making sure no water gets into the lasagna. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 35–40 minutes.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or scooping and serving. Top with chili crisp and green onions!

Notes

  • Keep the pork layers thin. Thick layers won’t cook through properly—press it out evenly each time.
  • Steaming gives the most authentic dumpling texture, but the oven method works great too.
  • Check the center before serving to make sure the pork is fully cooked.
  • Adjust heat by adding more or less chili crisp.
  • This is more of a scoop-and-serve situation than a clean slice—totally normal.
