  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground pork with onion, garlic, and ginger until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, marinara sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, beaten egg, half of the mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, and chopped spinach. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange a single layer of wonton wrappers over the sauce, overlapping edges as needed.
  6. Spoon half of the ricotta mixture over the wrappers, then drizzle with meat sauce. Repeat with another layer of wrappers, remaining ricotta mixture, and meat sauce.
  7. Top with a final layer of wrappers, remaining meat sauce, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm.

Notes

This no-fold dumpling lasagna is perfect for meal prep. Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate, or freeze unbaked for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking. For a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
