Steaming

  • 1 cup Water

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, spring onions, shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, minced ginger, light soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper, and optional MSG. Stir until well blended and fragrant.
  • In a 7"x9", 3" deep dish, add a third of the meat mixture evenly across the bottom. Lay down dumpling wrappers, then repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with wrappers on top. Pour 75ml of water over the dish.
  • Place the dish in a steaming basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 17 minutes, or until the dumpling wrappers are dimpled and cooked through.
  • While steaming, in a bowl, mix tahini, sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
  • After steaming, carefully remove the dish—watch out for steam! Drizzle the sauce over the lasagna and garnish with fresh chives and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Optional: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for an extra kick!
