1Prepare the pork filling by combining 500g of ground pork (20% fat and 80% leaner loin) with 2 fresh spring onions cut into thin rounds.
2Grate 10g of peeled ginger into the bowl.
3Crush 1 clove of garlic and add it to the mixture.
4Add 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 1 tbsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil, and 1 tbsp of oyster sauce.
5Cut 150g of cabbage (cabbage hood, Chinese cabbage, or savoy cabbage) into slices and then coarsely chop it into confetti-like pieces.
6Add the chopped cabbage to the bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
7Wearing a glove, massage all the ingredients together with passion until well combined to form the fragrant filling.
8Start assembling the lasagna by placing a first layer of the meat filling at the base of a mini cocotte, pressing it lightly.

10Add another spoonful of the filling, distributing it well over the pasta surface.
11Place another disc of dumpling pasta on top.

16Position the last layer of dumpling pasta on top, pressing it down well.
17Pour a little water into a small saucepan, place the mini cocotte inside, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil.
18Steam for about 20 minutes until beautiful denatures form on the surface.
