In a large bowl, combine the ground pork (or turkey), large egg, finely chopped Napa cabbage, finely chopped mushrooms, chopped chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Take each large, circular rice paper sheet and cut it into four equal quarters using kitchen scissors.

Prepare your baking dish (a small casserole dish or soufflé dish will work). Place one quarter-piece of rice paper at the bottom of the dish. Scoop a portion of the prepared meat and vegetable filling onto the rice paper layer and spread it evenly to cover the rice paper.

Repeat the layering process, alternating between a rice paper quarter and a layer of the filling mixture, until the dish is full or all the ingredients are used up. You should aim for about 6-8 layers of filling.

Once the layers are complete, gently pour 1/2 cup of warm water over the entire layered dish. This will help steam the rice paper and filling.

Place the baking dish into a larger, deep pot. Add enough boiling water to the pot to come about halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a bain-marie or water bath for steaming. Cover the pot with a lid.

Steam the 'dumpling lasagna' for 20 minutes. Ensure the water in the larger pot continues to simmer gently throughout the steaming process.

After steaming, carefully remove the baking dish from the pot. Drizzle a generous amount of chili oil over the top of the cooked lasagna.

Using a spatula or knife, cut the 'dumpling lasagna' into four individual servings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
