ramyaramesh3007A hearty dumpling lasagne layered with dumpling wrappers, juicy vegan filling topped with chili oil sauce and spring onions.
This dumpling lasagne is to die for – made with a mix of soft dumpling wrappers and a juicy meaty vegan filling with umami seasonings.
Traditional Chinese dumplings that typically have stuffings like meat and vegetables. In this recipe, I substituted it with a vegan pork mince (or you can also use extra firm tofu) and added in vegetables like shiitake mushrooms, aromatics and chopped spring onions.
The best part about this recipe is there’s no folding so you save a lot of time. This took me less than 30 minutes.
