How To Make The Viral Dumpling Lasagna

Ingredients

• 500 g Ground Pork (lean, fresh)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (fresh, minced)
• 5 leaves Basil Leaves (fresh, chopped; Thai basil preferred)
• 0.25 small Red Onion (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 piece Thai Chili (finely chopped; adjust to heat preference)
• 2 stalks Green Onion (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (toasted sesame oil for flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (helps bind the filling)
• 12 pieces Dumpling Wrappers (round, about 8 cm diameter; can use frozen)
• 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce (for topping) (drizzled after steaming)
• 1 teaspoon Chili Crisp (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Filling

   Place the ground pork in a mixing bowl. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped basil, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, finely chopped Thai chili, sliced green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and cornstarch.

   Time: PT10M

2. Mix the Filling Thoroughly

   Using a spatula, combine all ingredients until evenly distributed. The mixture should be slightly sticky from the cornstarch.

   Time: PT5M

3. Assemble the Dumpling Lasagna

   In a ramekin, lay one dumpling wrapper to cover the bottom. Spoon a thin layer of the pork mixture over the wrapper, then add a splash of water (about 1 tablespoon) to help steam. Repeat the layers—wrapper, pork, water—until ingredients are used, finishing with a wrapper on top.

   Time: PT10M

4. Steam the Assembled Dish

   Place the ramekin in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover with the lid and steam for about 20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 71 °C (160 °F) and the wrappers are tender.

   Time: PT20M

5. Finish and Serve

   Remove the ramekin from the steamer. Drizzle a teaspoon of soy sauce over the top and sprinkle chili crisp for extra heat and flavor. Serve hot directly from the ramekin or gently slide onto a plate.

   Time: PT2M
