A delicious dumpling alt! I’ve been seeing this non-stop on my feed so I had to recreate it!
How do u steam on stove when its in a lasagna pan??
I made a similar recipe last week and had the same question. I ended up using a large turkey fryer/seafood boil pot with a couple of bricks in the bottom. Assembled in a 1 1/2qt dish, set it on the bricks, filled water up over the bricks (about 1/4 of the way up the side of the dish) and covered to steam.
That’s a great idea!
I just found a pot big enough to fit it in! I just put it in directly, no steamer basket and added a shallow pour of water. If you do have a steamer basket, and don’t have a big enough pot, you can use smaller ramekins and do individuals!
