  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 5 ounces napa cabbage shredded
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 7 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3.5 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 spring onions thinly sliced for garnish

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 350°F.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion, garlic, and ginger until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add ground pork or chicken to the skillet, breaking apart and cooking until fully browned.
  4. Incorporate carrot, red bell pepper, and napa cabbage, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, cooking for an additional 2 minutes before removing from heat.
  6. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chili flakes if using, and sesame oil, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Mix cornstarch slurry into the sauce and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes, then take off heat.
  8. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of the soy ginger sauce on the bottom.
  9. Arrange a layer of 8 dumpling wrappers to cover the base, then spread one-third of the meat and vegetable mixture over the wrappers, sprinkle with one-third of the cheese, and drizzle with sauce.
  10. Repeat layering two more times, finishing with cheese and sauce on top.
  11. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until the top turns golden and bubbly.
  13. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
