Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground pork
  • 2 cups napa cabbage, finely chopped
  • 6 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 50 pieces wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chili crisp
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400F and lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 lbs ground pork, 2 cups finely chopped napa cabbage, 6 thinly sliced scallions, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 4 cloves minced garlic cloves, half the soy sauce, and half the toasted sesame oil. Mix well by hand until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, remaining toasted sesame oil, and 2 tbsp rice vinegar to make the drizzle. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Brush the bottom of the baking dish with 2 tbsp vegetable oil, then lay down a layer of wonton wrappers, overlapping slightly to cover the base.

  5. 5

    Spread one third of the pork mixture evenly over the wrappers, then pour a splash of chicken broth over the filling to keep it moist. Top with another layer of wonton wrappers.

  6. 6

    Repeat layering pork mixture, broth, and wrappers two more times, ending with a final layer of wrappers on top.

  7. 7

    Pour any remaining 1 cup chicken broth over the top layer and sprinkle evenly with 2 cups shredded shredded mozzarella cheese.

  8. 8

    Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake 10 more minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

  9. 9

    Insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of the pork filling; it should read at least 160F. Bake a few minutes longer if needed.

  10. 10

    Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle with the soy-vinegar mixture and spoonfuls of 1/4 cup chili crisp before slicing and serving.
