📝 Ingredients
Serves 4🥬Fresh Produce(3)
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (15 ml)
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (120 ml)
🥩Meat & Seafood(2)
- 2 tbsp chicken stock (or water) (30 ml)water
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken or pork (454 g)
🫙Pantry Staples(2)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (15 ml)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil (15 ml)
🍯Sauces & Condiments(2)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (15 ml)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (45 ml)
📦Other(2)
- 2 tbsp chili crunch (30 ml)
- 18 to 24 wonton or dumpling wrappers
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork with the green onions, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Chili Crunch, ginger, and oyster sauce. Mix with your hands until just combined.
- 2
Set up a steamer over a pot of gently boiling water. If you don’t have a steamer, simply place a heat-safe rack or trivet inside a large pot instead. Make sure your baking dish fits comfortably inside & the lid can fully close (I used an 8×8-inch dish). Keep the water level below the baking dish.
- 3
Briefly dip each wrapper in water for just 1–2 secs, then arrange a layer across the bottom of your dish. I used 6 wrappers per layer. Overlap them as needed to completely cover the bottom… the overlap actually helps everything hold together.
- 4
Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture over the wrappers. Repeat with wrappers and meat until everything is used. I made 4 layers, but work with whatever fits your dish. Finish with a final layer of wrappers, then pour the chicken stock evenly over top.
- 5
Carefully place the dish into your steamer, cover, & steam for 20–22 mins, keeping the water at a gentle boil. Remove once the meat is cooked through & the top is glossy.
- 6
Finish with a drizzle of soy sauce, plenty of chili crunch, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds. Slice it up like lasagna and enjoy this new family favorite!
