A comforting and unique lasagna recipe using dumpling wrappers layered with a creamy ginger garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 25–30 dumpling wrappers (round or square, fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (16 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (100 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable broth
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the ginger garlic sauce: Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add grated ginger and minced garlic, sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Make the roux: Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw taste. The mixture should bubble gently and thicken slightly.
  4. Add liquids: Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Follow with the heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Season and cheese it up: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Once the cheese melts, remove from heat.
  6. Assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange a single layer of dumpling wrappers on top, overlapping slightly if needed.
  7. Add more sauce: Spoon a generous layer of the ginger garlic cream sauce over the dumplings, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
  8. Repeat layering: Continue with another layer of dumpling wrappers, sauce, and mozzarella until you use all wrappers or fill the dish, aiming for 3-4 layers total.
  9. Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Rest and garnish: Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

Do not overfill the layers to avoid soggy dumpling wrappers. Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Cover while baking to trap steam and remove foil near the end to crisp the top. Let rest before serving for cleaner slices. If sauce thickens too much during baking, add a splash of broth or cream before serving.
