Chinese Food Lasagna (Epic Meal Time Style)

Ingredients

• 12 pieces Egg roll wrappers (Use as noodle layers; briefly soften in microwave or warm water)
• 2 cups General Tao chicken (Cooked and shredded; use store‑bought or homemade)
• 1 cup General Tao bacon (Cooked and crumbled)
• 2 cups Dumplings (store‑bought, pork or veggie) (Chopped finely; acts as ricotta substitute)
• 1 cup Sesame beef (Cooked, sliced thin)
• 2 cups Chow mein noodles (Cooked, broken into brick‑like pieces)
• 1 cup Coconut shrimp (Cooked, peeled; adds crunch and sweetness)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (Optional topping for a golden crust)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the fillings.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 375°F

2. Soften Egg Roll Wrappers

   Lay the egg‑roll wrappers on a microwave‑safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 30‑45 seconds until pliable.

   Time: PT5M

3. Cook Proteins

   In a large skillet, heat a splash of sesame oil. Add the General Tao chicken and bacon, stirring until heated through and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, quickly stir‑fry the sesame beef and coconut shrimp just until warmed.

   Time: PT15M

4. Prepare Dumpling “Ricotta”

   Finely chop the cooked dumplings. In a mixing bowl combine them with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix until a spreadable consistency forms.

   Time: PT5M

5. Assemble the Lasagna

   Spread a thin layer of the dumpling mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Lay a row of softened egg‑roll wrappers over it. Add a layer of General Tao chicken and bacon, then a spoonful of sesame beef, a handful of chow‑mein bricks, and a scattering of coconut shrimp. Repeat the layers (dumpling mix → egg roll → proteins) until ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of dumpling mixture.

   Time: PT10M

6. Add Cheese Topping

   Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the top layer.

   Time: PT2M

7. Bake

   Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10‑12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

   Time: PT30M

   Temperature: 375°F

8. Rest and Serve

   Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before cutting. This helps the layers set.

   Time: PT10M
