Ingredients

Filling

  • 1/2 lb Ground pork
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Cooking wine
  • 1/2 tsp White pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Green onions, chopped

  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 3 splashes Water
  • 4 leaves Shanghai bok-choy

Finishing sauce

Instructions

  • Make the filling:
    In a bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, cooking wine, white pepper, sugar, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the filling becomes slightly sticky and evenly combined.
  • Prep the bowl:
    Lightly grease a heat-safe bowl with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Wash and set aside the bok choy leaves.

  • Build the layers:
    Start with a layer of bok-choy at the bottom of the bowl. Alternatively, use dumpling wrappers here. Spread a thin, even layer of the pork filling over the wrappers. Add a layer of dumpling wrappers (about 6-7 per layer) on top. Add a splash of water on the dumpling wrappers on each layer. Repeat the layers (wrappers → pork filling) until everything is used, finishing with a final layer of dumpling wrappers on top.
  • Add moisture:
    Drizzle sesame oil over the top layer and add a few splashes of water around the edges of the bowl. This helps steam the wrappers and keeps everything soft and tender.

  • Steam the dumpling lasagna:
    Place the bowl into a steamer over medium heat. Steam for about 20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and the dumpling wrappers are soft and cooked through.
  • Finish with sauces:
    Drizzle on soy sauce, sesame oil and chili oil.
