Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 2 pieces carrots, finely grated Adding a subtle sweetness and vibrant color
  • ½ head napa cabbage, chopped finely Brings a crisp texture and fresh crunch
  • ½ bunch green onions, whites and greens divided Imparting an aromatic punch
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Lending its distinctive and robust flavor
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger Offering a warm and zesty kick
  • ¼ cup soy sauce For that savory umami depth
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar Contributing a hint of tanginess
  • 1 tablespoon mirin Enhancing the sweetness and complexity
  • ½ teaspoon salt To balance flavors
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper Adding a gentle heat
  • 8 ounces wonton wrappers Offering a delicate, crispy layer
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth Providing moisture and richness to the dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated carrots, chopped napa cabbage, white parts of the green onions, minced garlic, ground ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Place a single layer of wonton wrappers over the chicken mixture, allowing them to overlap slightly.
  5. Continue layering with another portion of the chicken mixture and then another layer of wonton wrappers, repeating until you have three layers of each, finishing with a top layer of wonton wrappers.
  6. Slowly pour the chicken broth around the edges of the casserole.
  7. Cover tightly with a lid, or if using parchment paper, cover securely with foil.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the wonton wrappers are soft.
  9. Allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and a drizzle of chili crisp.

Notes

Be gentle while mixing the filling to keep the chicken juicy. Use fresh produce for better flavor. Consider using homemade chicken broth for richer taste.
