Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 scallion stalks, sliced
  • 1 cup napa cabbage, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, diced
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 12 to 15 wonton wrappers (square or circle)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated ginger, scallions, napa cabbage, garlic, and mushrooms.
    1 pound ground chicken, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 scallion stalks, sliced, 1 cup napa cabbage, finely chopped, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, diced
  • Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Mix until everything is well combined.
    2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Lay 4 to 6 wonton wrappers in an even layer on the bottom of a 7x 11-inch baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture evenly over the wrappers. Add another layer of 4 to 6 wonton wrappers on top. Repeat this process two more times with the remaining chicken mixture and wrappers, finishing with a layer of wrappers on top.
    12 to 15 wonton wrappers (square or circle)
  • Carefully pour 1/3 cup of cold water around the edges of the dish, making sure not to pour directly over the top.
  • Fill a larger pan or a 9- by- 13 inch baking dish about halfway with hot water. Place the filled lasagna dish inside the larger dish to create a water bath.
  • Place the dumpling lasagna dish in a large pan or steamer to create a steaming setup using a pot with a rack and a lid. Cover the larger dish tightly with foil or a lid. Transfer it carefully to the oven.
  • Bake until the chicken is fully cooked, and a thermometer inserted into the center reaches at least 160 degrees, about 30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Top with extra sliced scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil and chili oil before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

✔️ Finely chop the vegetables so they cook evenly and blend into the filling.
✔️ Do not overpack the layers to ensure even cooking.
✔️ Keep the dish tightly covered while steaming to retain moisture.
✔️ Use fresh wonton wrappers for the best texture.
✔️ Let the dish rest slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape.
