Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken mince, chopped spring onions, diced shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the light soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, ground black pepper, and MSG if using. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Take a heatproof dish and spread a third of the filling mixture on the bottom as your first layer. Next, place a layer of dumpling wrappers over the filling.
  3. Repeat the layering process with another third of the filling, followed by another layer of wrappers, and finish with the remaining filling topped with a final layer of wrappers.
  4. Pour 75ml of water evenly over the top layer of wrappers. Carefully transfer the dish to a steaming basket set over boiling water. Cover tightly with a lid and steam for 17 minutes.
  5. While the dumpling lasagna is steaming, whisk together tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a bowl.
  6. Once steaming is complete, carefully remove the dish from the steaming basket. Drizzle your freshly made tahini sauce over the top, and sprinkle with chilli oil, chopped chives, and sesame seeds.
