Why Everyone Is Obsessed With Viral Dumpling Lasagne

The reason this recipe has gone viral is because it combines all the best parts of dumplings and lasagne into one easy dish.

The dumpling wrappers soften while steaming and become silky and noodle-like, while the pork filling stays juicy and packed with flavour.

It’s warm, comforting and surprisingly simple to make.

We also love that it works perfectly as a hot lunch idea for kids when paired with an insulated food jar.
