Method

Prep the aromatics

Thinly slice the Scallion, keeping the green tops aside for garnish. Grate the Garlic and fresh Ginger finely so they melt right into the filling.

Mix the filling

In a large bowl, combine the Ground Pork with the scallion whites, grated garlic, grated ginger, Soy Sauce (or tamari), Toasted Sesame Oil, Chili Crisp, Rice Vinegar, White Pepper (or black pepper), and Chicken Broth. Mix with your hands or a spoon until the pork looks evenly seasoned and just a little sticky, like dumpling filling.

Cook the pork

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork mixture and cook, breaking it up with a spatula and stirring often, until the pork is no longer pink and most of the moisture has cooked off, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the filling cool for a few minutes so it is easier to layer.

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 400° F.

Assemble the layers

While the oven heats, divide the filling into 3 equal portions. Spread one portion in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, then lay on 8 Wonton Wrappers, dipping each wrapper briefly in a small bowl of Water so it softens and overlaps neatly. Repeat twice more with the remaining filling and wrappers, ending with a wrapper layer on top. Press very gently so the stack settles without tearing.

Bake the lasagna

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 to 12 minutes more, until the wrappers are hot and the top is lightly golden at the edges and bubbling around the sides.

Garnish and serve

Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes so it slices neatly. Drizzle with extra soy sauce, a little more chili crisp, scatter over the reserved scallion greens, and finish with Sesame Seeds, then cut or spoon into squares and serve warm.
