Instructions

Mix the Filling

In a bowl, combine ground pork or chicken (or tofu) with chopped Napa cabbage, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, a pinch of sugar, and white pepper.
Add chilled gelatin broth cubes and mix well.

Build the Layers

Lightly oil the baking dish.
Add a single layer of wonton wrappers.
Spoon an even layer of filling on top. Optionally, add extra gelatin cubes for more soupiness.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of wrappers on top.

Bake or Steam

Bake at 375°F (190°C), covered with foil, for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 8 to 10 minutes to brown the top.
Alternatively, steam for 25 to 35 minutes for a softer texture.

Serve

Let the lasagna rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Cut into squares and serve, spooning additional broth over each piece if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, add broth to keep the dish from drying out.
