In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, 4 stalks of chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 1 tablespoon of grated or minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar (or Shaoxing cooking wine), 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon, 1 teaspoon of white pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar.

To assemble the lasagna, briefly dip a dumpling wrapper in water to moisten it. Place the wet dumpling wrapper(s) to form a single layer covering the bottom of the greased dish. Spread an even layer of meat filling, approximately 1/2 inch thick, on top of the dumpling wrapper layer. Briefly dip another dumpling wrapper in water and add it as a single layer evenly on top of the meat layer. Repeat the process: add another layer of meat filling, then a final layer of wet dumpling wrappers. This should result in 3 layers of wrappers (bottom, middle, top) and 2 layers of meat filling in between.

In a large pot or pan that is big enough to fit your heatproof dish(es), add 2 inches of water. Place a steamer insert into the pot. Carefully place the assembled lasagna dish(es) onto the steamer insert. If using individual cocottes, cover them with their lids before placing them in the steamer.

Turn the heat to medium-high. Cover the large pot with a lid and steam for 25-40 minutes. The steaming time will vary depending on the size of each lasagna: smaller dishes may take 20 minutes to fully cook through, while larger glass containers may take up to 40 minutes of steaming. Ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 160°F (71°C).

Once cooked, carefully remove the soup dumpling lasagna from the steamer. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and julienned ginger. Enjoy immediately with extra soy sauce and chili oil on the side.
