Remove ribs from the napa cabbage leaves and chop the leaves
Finely grate the ginger and finely chop the garlic
Add pork, 1/3 cup of broth, ginger, garlic, dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl
Mix just until all the ingredients are incorporated
Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the remaining chicken broth and set it aside
Dip each wonton into a bowl of water before layering it in the ramekin, gently pressing the wontons down as you build the layers
Layer a 12-ounce ramekin as follows: 2 wonton wrappers, 1/4 cup of the pork filling, some napa cabbage, 3 wonton wrappers, 1/4 cup of the pork filling, some of the napa cabbage, 2 1/2 tablespoons of broth, 2 wonton wrappers, 2 1/2 tablespoons of broth, and a sprinkle of scallion
Repeat to assemble the remaining three ramekins
Place the dumplings in a large pot and add enough water to fill the ramekins halfway
Cover and steam, starting on high and reducing to medium-low once it comes to a boil, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F
Cover the ramekins tightly until ready to serve to keep the top layer of wontons tender
You're all done!
Enjoy your soup dumpling lasagna — and don't forget to share.

Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
- No napa cabbage? Thinly sliced regular cabbage works as a layering substitute.
- No dark soy sauce? Use regular soy sauce with a small splash of molasses for a similar color and depth.
- No rice wine vinegar? Substitute an equal amount of white wine vinegar.
Storing it
Store leftovers in their ramekins or an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat covered until steaming hot. Freezing isn't recommended since the wonton layers turn soggy.
Making it ahead
The pork filling can be mixed and the cabbage chopped up to a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to assemble and steam.
