- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F to warm up.
- Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium heat and cook the onion, garlic, and ginger until they release their aroma, about 2 minutes.
- Add ground pork or chicken to the skillet and continue cooking, breaking it apart, until it is browned and fully cooked.
- Stir in the carrot, red bell pepper, and napa cabbage, cooking the mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Pour in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, mix everything well, and cook for another 2 minutes before removing from heat.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chili flakes if using, and sesame oil, then bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, roughly 1 to 2 minutes, then take it off the heat.
- Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish lightly and spread a thin layer of the prepared soy ginger sauce on the bottom.
- Lay out 8 dumpling wrappers to fully cover the base of the baking dish.
- Spread one third of the meat and vegetable mixture on top of the wrappers, sprinkle with one third of the shredded cheeses, and drizzle some soy ginger sauce over it.
- Repeat the layering two more times finishing with cheeses and a final drizzle of sauce on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before garnishing with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds to serve.

- For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
