The Skinnymixers Community seems to have Dumpling Lasagna on the brain, as it was one of the most-requested People’s Choice recipes behind Sticky Sweet & Sour Pork and Rainbow Beef Stir Fry for Dinners 4 – out April 10th 2026!
It didn’t make it into the cookbook as we already had a Mexican Lasagna Stack and a Lazy Chicken Lasagna included in the 36 NEW Dinners recipes.
Well it seems our incredible Mez Nelson couldn’t stop thinking about a Dumpling Lasagna either, so she whipped some up one night for her family and decided to share the recipe.
This isn’t your typical lasagna! You may have seen the concept on Tiktok or Instagram. Basically it is deconstructed dumplings, layered like a lasagna. You top with some spring onions, dumpling sauce and chilli crisp oil for a delicious easy dinner.
Does it take a little effort to make the layers and then steam? Yes. But nowhere near the amount of effort it takes to fold 40 dumplings!
Gluten-free Dumpling Wrappers
If you are looking for gluten-free dumpling wrappers, you can make them using Mez’s guest recipe or you can use rice paper sheets which are a slightly different texture but still delicious!
It is nearly impossible to purchase gluten-free dumpling wrappers commercially. This recipe works really well with a good quality gluten-free flour than has xanthan gum in it. We used Orgran Plain Flour.
How To Cook
- First we make the dumpling filling mixture
- Layer dumpling filling into ramekins with a little liquid stock and dumpling wrappers.
- Use whatever size ramekins that you have, although it is best to fit the dumpling wrapper to the size of the ramekin. If all of the ramekins don’t fit in the varoma steaming trays, you can also boil water in a pot and prop the ramekin on top of some lids, then cover and steam.
- If you have leftover filling and wrappers, you can make dumplings or you can make meatballs out of the filling.
