Instructions
Prep aromatics
Trim the white ends off the green onions, chop the green parts finely, and grate the garlic cloves directly into the mixing bowl.
Time: PT10M
Season the pork
Add the ground pork to the bowl with the chopped green onion and grated garlic. Sprinkle in white pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chili oil, and chili crisp. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform.
Time: PT5M
Soften wonton wrappers
Place frozen wonton wrappers on a plate and microwave in 10‑second bursts, total about 30 seconds, until they are pliable but not melted. Quickly dip each wrapper in a shallow bowl of water before layering.
Time: PT5M
Assemble the lasagna
In a heat‑proof serving dish that fits your steamer, lay a layer of softened wonton wrappers on the bottom. Spread an even thin layer of the seasoned pork over the wrappers. Repeat the process—wrapper, pork, wrapper—until all pork is used, finishing with a wrapper on top.
Time: PT10M
Add broth
Drizzle the 2 tbsp of chicken broth evenly over the top layer. The broth will steam the dish from above.
Time: PT2M
Steam the lasagna
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, then place the steamer rack inside. Set the assembled dish on the rack, cover with the lid, and steam for 25 minutes. Check the water level occasionally and add a splash of boiling water if it gets low.
Time: PT25M
Temperature: 100°C
Garnish
Remove the dish from the steamer. Drizzle a little soy sauce and toasted sesame oil over the top, sprinkle chopped green onion, and add a tiny drizzle of chili crisp for color and extra heat.
Time: PT3M
Serve
Let the lasagna rest for 2 minutes, then cut into squares and serve while hot.
Time: PT2M
